Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Layer the fruit: Spread sliced bananas, drained pineapple, and sliced strawberries evenly in the dish.
  3. Add the cake mix: Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the fruit layer.
  4. Drizzle with melted butter: Pour butter over the cake mix, making sure to cover as much as possible.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
  6. Let cool slightly, then top with whipped cream, fresh fruit, chopped nuts, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
  7. Serve warm or chilled for a delicious, easy dessert!

Notes

  • For extra richness, use chocolate cake mix instead of yellow.
  • If using fresh pineapple, drain excess juice to prevent a soggy cake.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for an even more indulgent treat!
