This fluffy 2-Ingredient cake comes together in minutes, tastes like sunshine, and is always the first dessert to disappear.
Ingredients
- 16 oz. box angel food cake mix (just the dry mix)
- 20 oz. can crushed pineapple in juice
- optional toppings: whipped cream and fruit
Directions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine the dry angel food cake mix with the entire can of crushed pineapple with liquid.
2
Stir until everything is well combined. I used a hand mixer to whip up a bit. The mixture will become light and foamy.
3
Spread the batter into an ungreased 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched.
4
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Serve with whipped cream and fruit if desired.
Extra tips for making this angel food cake with pineapple recipe:
- Be sure to use crushed pineapple in juice, not syrup.
- Don’t grease the baking dish. The batter needs to cling to the sides as it bakes.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
This might be the best dessert you’ll bring to a summer BBQ.
Fluffy angel cake with a pineapple addition is perfection! My whole family is loving this cake and I highly recommend making it soon!
