Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions and prepare your baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, crushed pineapple (with juice), eggs, and oil. Mix until well blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake according to the cake mix instructions, usually around 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes
Make sure not to drain the crushed pineapple as the juice keeps the cake moist and flavorful. You can substitute applesauce for a lighter cake.
