Tips

This cake is delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a more tropical flavor, substitute a can of mandarin oranges for the pineapple and omit the cherries.

If you don't have maraschino cherries on hand, use frozen or canned cherries. Drain the juice and rinse them before adding to the cake.

You can also use different types of cake mix, such as lemon or spice. Use the same amount of cake mix and adjust the other ingredients as necessary.

If you don't have a 13x9-inch pan, you can use a 9-inch round cake pan or 9-inch springform pan. Bake the cake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

This recipe can also be made with a different type of fruit, such as peaches, apples, or berries. Just make sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.

If you want to make this cake ahead of time, you can bake it and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to keep it fresh.
