Ingredients
- 1 box angel food cake mix (16 oz)*
- 20 oz crushed pineapple with juice (do not drain)
- Optional:
- 1 tub whipped topping
- Fresh fruit for garnish (e.g., strawberries, kiwi, blueberries)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easier removal (optional).
2. Mix the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel food cake mix with the undrained crushed pineapple. Stir gently until the mixture is well-combined and begins to foam slightly.
3. Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the surface. Bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Cool and Serve:
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. Remove it carefully and cut into slices. Garnish with whipped topping and fresh fruit as desired.
Tips for Success
- Use the Right Cake Mix: Be sure to use a one-step angel food cake mix (just add water type) for this recipe to work properly.
- Don’t Drain the Pineapple: The juice is essential to creating the light and fluffy texture of the cake.
- Pan Choice: While a 9×13 pan is most common, you can also use a bundt pan for a fancier presentation. Be sure to grease it lightly if not using parchment paper.
- Garnish Ideas: Add a tropical flair by topping with toasted coconut flakes or a drizzle of pineapple glaze.
- Make It Extra Special: Layer the cake with whipped cream and fruit to create a simple trifle dessert.
