Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Angel food cake mix
- 20 oz Crushed pineapple
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel food cake mix (do not prepare the batter as instructed on the box; simply use the dry mix) with a 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple, including the juice.
Stir the mixture gently until it is well combined. The pineapple juice will activate the cake mix, creating a fluffy batter.
Pour the batter into an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and cool it upside down (if using a tube pan) or on a wire rack if baked in a rectangular pan. Let it cool completely before serving.
Slice and serve as-is or with one of the following variations for added flavor.
