Ingredients Breakdown
Essential Ingredients:
- 1 box (16 oz) angel food cake mix (must be the kind that only requires water)
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice (do not drain)

Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel food cake mix and entire can of crushed pineapple (juice included). Stir until well combined. The mixture will become frothy—this is normal!
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool & Serve: Let the cake cool completely before slicing. It tastes even better after resting!

FAQs
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned? Fresh pineapple doesn’t contain the same level of juice, which helps activate the cake mix. Stick to canned for best results.
Can I make this in a bundt pan? Yes! Use a non-stick bundt pan and bake for 35-40 minutes.
Can I add mix-ins like nuts or coconut? Absolutely! Fold in shredded coconut or chopped pecans for added texture.
How do I make this even lower in calories? Use a sugar-free angel food cake mix and unsweetened crushed pineapple.
