Spoon the dry cake mix from the box evenly over pineapple. Sprinkle coconut on top.

Step 5

Cut remaining 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter into small cubes and place cubes of butter over cake mix.

Step 6

Bake dump cake for 45-60 minutes in the middle of the oven or until cooked through and coconut is toasted. Check cake every now and then to make sure coconut does not burn. if coconut starts to get too toasted, cover with aluminum foil.
