How to Make Pineapple Angel Food Cake Recipe
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Add the crushed pineapple (with juice) to a large bowl.
- Add the angel food cake mix and stir until fully combined, making sure none of the dry mix is left at the bottom of the bowl. Don’t overmix. A whisk works well for this cake.
- Pour the batter into a 9×13-inch pan
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and springs back to the touch.
- Let cool before slicing.
How to Top It
My favorite way to serve this: a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of strawberry yogurt, and fresh berries on top. The tang and creaminess plays so well against the fluffy cake. Whipped cream or a light citrus glaze are great options too.
Tips for the Best Angel Food Cake With Pineapple
- A glass pan may need a light spray, even though nonstick metal pans don’t.
- This batter also works in a bundt or tube pan if you want a more traditional angel food cake look.
- Any brand of crushed pineapple is fine. Just don’t drain it, the juice is what activates the cake mix.
FAQ FOR Angel Food Cake Mix And Pineapple Recipe
Can I use a different fruit?
Yes, this same two ingredient dessert method works with pie fillings like lemon, strawberry, or blueberry. Crushed pineapple gives you a lighter, more tropical result.
Do I need to drain the pineapple?
No, pour it in with the juice. That liquid is what activates the cake mix and keeps it moist.
Can I make this ahead?
Yes, it keeps well covered at room temperature for a day, or in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Is this a healthier dessert option?
It’s a lowfat pineapple angel food cake with no added eggs, oil, or butter, making it a lighter treat than most traditional cakes.
