Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Only 2 ingredients — nothing else needed
• No oil, butter, or eggs — naturally lighter than most cakes
• Ready in under an hour — minimal prep, mostly hands-off baking
• Naturally sweetened — the pineapple juice does all the work

Ingredients

• 1 box (15.25 oz) angel food cake mix
• 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained

Optional toppings: fresh berries, whipped topping, or a light dusting of powdered sugar.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish (do not use a bundt or tube pan for this method).
2. Combine the ingredients. In a large bowl, mix the angel food cake mix with the entire can of crushed pineapple, including the juice, until well combined. The batter will look slightly foamy — this is normal.
3. Transfer to the pan. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
4. Bake. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and springs back lightly when touched.
5. Cool. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing.
6. Serve as is, or topped with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped topping, or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
