Ingredients

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.

Tips for Success

  • Use the entire can of crushed pineapple, juice included — this is what keeps the cake moist without any added oil or butter.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter, as angel food cake mix relies on air for its light texture.
  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
