Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Angel food cake mix
- 20 oz Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 8 oz Whipped topping (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Toasted coconut (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Fresh pineapple slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel food cake mix with the crushed pineapple, including its juice. Use a spatula or spoon to mix until the batter is smooth and airy. Avoid overmixing.
Do not follow the instructions on the cake mix box or add additional ingredients. The pineapple and its juice replace the usual wet ingredients.
Pour the batter into an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. The cake may slightly deflate as it cools—this is normal.
Once cooled, optionally spread a layer of whipped topping over the cake for sweetness and presentation.
Sprinkle toasted coconut and arrange fresh pineapple slices on top for garnish, if desired.
Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your fluffy and fruity Light As a Cloud Angel Pineapple Cake!
