Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box (15.25 oz / 432 g) angel food cake mix
- 1 can (20 oz / 567 g) crushed pineapple in juice
Supporting Ingredients:
- None
Preparation Ingredients:
- None
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9×13-inch baking dish and leave it ungreased – the cake needs to grip the sides while rising.
- Open the 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple and pour the entire contents into a mixing bowl. Add the 15.25-ounce box of angel food cake mix directly into the same bowl.
- Gently blend the pineapple and cake mix with a whisk or spatula. Stir until the batter transforms into a light, frothy consistency with no dry powder remaining.
- Transfer the airy batter into the ungreased baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly across the pan’s surface.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven. Bake for 32 minutes, checking at the 30-minute mark to ensure the top turns golden brown and develops small surface cracks.
- Remove the cake from the oven. Allow it to rest and cool completely inside the baking dish for approximately 45-60 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Check cake mix expiration dates to ensure the lightest, fluffiest texture possible.
- Drain pineapple thoroughly to prevent excess moisture from weighing down the cake.
- Use a bundt pan for more even baking and a beautiful presentation that makes slicing easier.
- Room temperature ingredients help create a smoother, more consistent cake batter that rises perfectly.
