I usually make everything from scratch, but this recipe is too good to mess with much. I have reduced the fat a bit and altered the ingredients to meet my family's likes, but other than that this recipe is fantastic as is. The key is to remember to layer exactly as listed! It is great in a pinch since most ingredients are always in the cupboard or freezer. The original recipe called for the butter before the nuts and coconut, but I changed that. By putting it last, the nuts and coconut toast up fantastically.
1 large can crushed pineapple, undrained
2-3 cups frozen blueberries
1-3 ripe banana(s), sliced thin
1 cup sugar
1 box yellow cake mix, dry
1/2-1 cup minced walnuts
1/2-1 cup flaked coconut
1 1/2 -2 sticks butter, melted
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Layer exactly as listed in even layers
- Bake 45-60 minutes until it tests done

You know, I bet this IS very good! Happen to have a box of yellow cake mix that I bought and didn't know what to do with as usually I'm a from-scratch cook. This is, as you say, a terrific in a pinch recipe! And none of us should apologize for using the occasional boxed mix. They are there to help us, grins!
