We love serving this warm dessert with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Sprinkling sugar on top of chilled pecans before baking creates wonderfully sweet and crunchy baked pecans that make my taste buds so happy.
Easier than our Blueberry Mystery Cake and simpler than our Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake this crunch cake packs delicious flavors in every bite! As the sugar bakes into the pecans they become candied pecans which add a beautiful sweet crunch to the cake!

How to Make Blueberry Crunch Cake
Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and sprinkle blueberries across the bottom. Add pineapple in an even layer and then sprinkle 3/4 cup of sugar evenly over the fruit.
Pineapple should be drained, but a little bit of juice is okay.
Open up that box of yellow cake mix and sprinkle it over top of the fruit. Melt butter or margarine and pour as evenly over the cake mix as you can.
Sprinkle pecans on top of the cake mix and finish off with the remaining sugar.
Bake in a 350°F oven for about 40 to 45 minutes until the top is beginning to lightly brown and the fruit is bubbling up around the edges.
One of the tricks to help the cake better and more evenly is about 20 minutes into baking take a knife and cut through the cake in several places to allow the juices to bubble up through the cake.
