Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, melted
⅓ cup spiced rum
2 pounds frozen pineapple chunks
1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
½ cup unsalted butter, cubed small
Vanilla ice cream, optional
Whipped cream, optional
Maraschino cherries, optional
Toasted coconut, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, mix together melted butter, rum, and frozen pineapple until well-combined.
Scoop the dry cake mix evenly over the pineapple mixture, then sprinkle coconut on top.
Sprinkle the remaining butter cubes evenly over the cake mix, then bake in the middle of the oven 50-60 minutes, or until batter is cooked through and coconut is toasted but not burnt. If the coconut begins to burn before end of cook time, cover with aluminum foil.
