Description

This Pineapple Angel Food Cake is a light and fluffy dessert made by combining angel food cake mix with crushed pineapple, resulting in a moist and flavorful cake with a tropical twist.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Betty Crocker Angel Food Cake Mix (just add water variety)
  • 20 ounces canned crushed pineapple, including juice

Optional Topping

  • Cool Whip
  • Shredded coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Assemble all ingredients needed for the recipe, including the angel food cake mix and crushed pineapple.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) to get it ready for baking the cake.
  3. Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the entire contents of the angel food cake mix with the crushed pineapple and its juice. Do not add any additional ingredients such as eggs or oil, just mix until well combined.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Transfer the batter into an ungreased 9×13 inch ceramic baking dish. Do not grease the pan as this affects the texture of the angel food cake.
  5. Bake the Cake: Bake for 33 to 38 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown. The cake should spring back lightly when touched.
  6. Cool the Cake: After baking, allow the cake to cool. It is normal for the cake to fall slightly in the middle as it cools. To reduce sinking, invert the cake immediately after baking using loaf pans or similar supports to hold it upside down.
  7. Add Toppings and Serve: Just before serving, top slices with optional Cool Whip and sprinkle shredded coconut or fresh berries as desired for added flavor and presentation.
  8. Storage: Store any leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Do not grease the baking pan to ensure the cake rises properly and achieves the characteristic angel food texture.
  • The cake may sink in the center after baking; cooling it upside down can help prevent this.
  • Optional toppings like Cool Whip and coconut flakes add a delicious contrast in flavor and texture.
  • Store leftovers at room temperature, covered, for up to 2 days to keep the cake fresh.
