Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°.
When the oven is hot, cut 1/2 of the stick of butter into small pieces and melt them in the pan.
In the meantime, drain 1 can of pineapple and then drain the can of mandarin oranges, reserving 1/3 c. of the orange juice. Keep all of the juice from the other can of pineapple.
Take the pan out of the oven, dump in the drained pineapple, the pineapple still in its juice, the chopped oranges, and the reserved 1/3 c. of mandarin orange juice.
Sprinkle the entire bag of dry cake mix evenly over the fruit.
Sprinkle the entire bag of coconut over the cake mix.
Chop up the other 1/2 stick of butter into small pieces and dot it over the top of the coconut.
Bake 45 minutes to an hour (or until coconut is browned).
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
