2-Ingredient Pineapple Cake

Let me guess—you need dessert, like, yesterday. Maybe your in-laws are on their way, or your kid just told you they signed you up for a bake sale (thanks, Timmy). Don’t panic—we’ve all been there. This two-ingredient pineapple cake is my go-to when I want something sweet without breaking a sweat—or the bank. We're talking cake mix and crushed pineapple. That’s it. No eggs, no oil, no drama. It’s light, naturally sweet, and somehow gives off ‘I totally planned this’ vibes. The texture is fluffy, the edges crisp up just enough, and that pineapple flavor? Bright and sunny, like a little tropical vacation in your mouth. Whether you're pulling this off in your PJs at midnight or pretending you're on a baking show, this cake delivers. And hey, if anyone asks, just smile and say it’s an old family recipe. I won’t tell. This chicken stirfry easy recipe–inspired cake (wink) is living proof that simple can still mean amazing.

Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice (don’t drain it!)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish—or don’t, if you like to live dangerously.
  3. In a big bowl, dump the cake mix and the entire can of pineapple with juice.
  4. Mix until combined. No need to overthink it.
  5. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth it out.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until it looks golden and your kitchen smells like vacation.
  7. Let it cool a bit before slicing, unless you're okay with lava cake-style fingers.
