In addition, I ADDED 1 cup of shredded Coconut (you could use sweetened or unsweetened) to the batter and mixed well. I used two large 12" round pans that were spray greased. I baked for roughly 25 minutes for the wider pans at 350 degrees.
The batter still puffed above the pan edge, making lovely domed cake layers.
Placing the first layer on the plate...I stabbed it with a fork. Since I wasn't using frosting, I thought the strained pineapple juice from the can would be perfect, I probably drizzled 1/3-1/2 cup of juice on the bottom layer. Then I arranged 5 pineapple rings and sliced strawberries filling in the gaps on the layer.

The top layer was treated the same way with the fruit, only with halved-strawberries with the tops still on for color. I took the last of of the pineapple juice, mixed it with a bit (1/3 cup) powder sugar and a 1/2cup or so of the shredded coconut and mixed this together, thinly spreading across the top and brushing the excess liquid to the edges. I covered and stored in the refrigerator overnight.
I thought about putting it under the broiler, but all that fresh fruit...might not have worked and it was too hot.
Goodness it was delicious .....easy, fresh, perfect for hot day and nothing melting or spoiling...and it was almost ALL GONE!!!! Serve with Ice cream or whip topping on the side...and everyone could have some.
INGREDIENTS:
Cake Mix
1 can of pineapple (10) rings, strained and save the juice.
1 pt of washed fresh Strawberries, half sliced round and the rest halved with tops on.
3 eggs or egg substitute equivalent
1 1/2 cups of shredded sweetened coconut
1/4-1/3 cup of powdered sugar
