PINEAPPLE ANGEL FOOD CAKE
Ahhh…sweet success.
Storage Ingredients
1 can crushed pineapple with juice (20 oz.)
1 box angel food cake mix
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. With minimal mixing, combine entire can of crushed pineapple with angel food cake mix. Pour into prepared baking pan and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Cake should be lightly browned and center tested done when fully baked. Cool inverted. Frost with sweetened whipping cream if desired.
Refreshing and light as a feather, this is a great holiday dessert! Perfect after a rich meal. Big thanks to dear Linda for sharing such an easy and yummy recipe. With only two ingredients, it’s practically holiday baking for pre-schoolers, and something even I couldn’t mess up. Our whole family loved it. One daughter said, “Dang, this would make a great wedding cake.” That’s a pretty big compliment, especially for a Weight Watchers recipe. Fat free if served without frosting.
I suggest you give this recipe a try and consider adding a few cans of crushed pineapple and boxes of angel food cake mix to your three-month supply. Angels in your home will love you!
Merry Christmas!

Now I know what to do with my crushed pineapple that I need to use up before the end of the year! Dare I say “Hallelujah! “

Hallelujah is right, Candace. Unfrosted, there’s only 1 point each when cut into 24 servings. Hwaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Where do these ideas come from…I mean, you take a box of brownie mix and add a can of pureed beans or a box of cake mix and add pumpkin puree…and now, a box of angel food cake and crushed pineapple? Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE these ideas and the end results!! But the question still remains…who comes up with this stuff and why does it work? Just ask’n.

I don’t know, but I’m happy to have a few of these secrets!

This sounds really good – thanks for the recipe! (recipe? Is two ingredients a recipe?)
I’ll give it a try the next time cake mixes are on sale!

Especially at Christmas time, this recipe reminds me of my childhood Easy Bake Oven. Those were the days! A magical world of cooking where EVERY recipe had only two ingredients.
If you want something fancier, try doing a search for pineapple angel food cake and you’ll find all sorts of gourmet variations: pudding in the fosting, cream cheese filling, substituting canned peaches for the pineapple, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and layers of fresh fruit…

I tried this tonight.. it tasted very good. I will have to follow the instructions next time… MINIMAL stirring…lol It was about an inch dense. NOT looking like your awesome picture. But very tasty! I will have to try this again!

okay question.. do all angel food cake mixes have two packages of ingredients in them.. Egg white powder and Cake mix?

Michelle, Michelle, Michelle.
I guess that the MINIMAL stirring really makes a difference. Glad you enjoyed the flavor and better luck next time on the presentation.
I only know about angel food cake mixes that are a single package. From what I read about this recipe, it’s important to NOT use a mix with ingredients separated into two pkgs. Someone, lots smarter, will have to explain why…
The brand I purchased, Betty Crocker, had only one packet with all the dry ingredients together, and it worked!!!

UGH.. why oh why didn’t I spend the 20 cents to get the betty crocker!!! I got the Western family and it had two packages!..lol
Well.. now I know!

A friends mentioned that you can mix a can of soda in any cake mix to replace the eggs, oil, and water. I did a little internet search and found several links for “cake mix can of soda.” Here’s one: http://www.ehow.com/how_2184347_cake-diet-pop-soda-version.html
Some of the sites I found used regular soda, not diet.
