Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If nothing else, you’ll feel like you’re doing something productive.
In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spread the crushed pineapple evenly. This is your juicy, tropical base—think of it as a mini-vacation in your baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded carrots over the pineapple. Just toss them on there like you’re feeding a very fancy bunny.
Now, take that dry carrot cake mix and sprinkle it evenly over the carrots and pineapple. No stirring required because we’re living life on the edge.
Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix. Try to get it as even as possible, but honestly, no one’s judging.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts and shredded coconut on top. This is where you get to pretend you’re a culinary genius.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. When your house smells like you’ve been baking for hours, it’s ready.
