This was my second time making spoon bread, and I really like this recipe! The pineapple flavor was subtle, and I liked the creamy consistency. Very tasty!
Every once in a while I come across a recipe that is so-easy-to-make-a-caveman-could-do-it, & this is one of those ~ Just mix all the ingredients together & pop it in the oven! Great tasting cornbread, too, & I’ll be making this one again & again, I just know I will! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
We didn’t know what to expect from spoon bread…never had it before. It was very flavorful and moist. A perfect side dish to the herbed oven-fried chicken we had. I did add a little bit of sugar to it just because that’s the way I always make cornbread. It was delicious.
INGREDIENTS :
Cake:
- 1 (15.25 oz.) package yellow cake mix
- 1 cup of water
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, of 1 (20 oz.) can, juices reserved
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped
Glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- Remaining pineapple and pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- Whipped cream, optional, garnish
PREPARATION :
- In a large bowl or mixer, mix cake mix, water, eggs, and melted butter together, then stir in 1 cup crushed pineapple, coconut and pecans until incorporated.
- Liberally grease a slow cooker with non-stick spray, then pour batter into the cooker and a smooth top layer with a rubber spatula.
- Take two layers of paper towels and place over slow cooker with ends extending out over the sides, then place a lid on top of the slow cooker. (This ensures that the paper towels absorb all condensation, instead of dripping down onto the cake.)
- Cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4, leaving the lid on the whole time.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together glaze ingredients (powdered sugar, pineapple and pineapple juice, butter, coconut, and pecans) until smooth.
- Uncover slow cooker (making sure cake is cooked through), remove paper towels, then pour glaze over the cake, cover again and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Scoop, serve and enjoy.
