Baking Tips

Don't drain the pineapple - the juice helps create the cake's moist texture

Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from becoming too mushy

Cut butter into thin, even slices and distribute well for the best cake texture

Don't mix the layers - the magic happens as it bakes

Let it cool slightly before serving to allow the layers to set

Leftovers can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days

Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30-45 seconds

Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the cake mix for extra warmth

For a richer flavor, use butter-flavored cake mix if available
