Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 box angel food cake mix
- 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Whipped topping or whipped cream, for serving (optional)
- Maraschino cherries or shredded coconut for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Mix cake batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry angel food cake mix with the entire can of crushed pineapple, including the juice. Stir gently until the mixture is fully combined and becomes light and fluffy. (It will foam slightly—that’s normal.)
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
- Serve: Slice and serve on its own or topped with whipped cream, cherries, or coconut.
Notes
- This cake is light, moist, and naturally fat-free thanks to the angel food base.
- For extra tropical flavor, add a handful of shredded coconut or a splash of coconut extract.
