- ✔ Perfectly tropical flavor
- ✔ Easy to dress up with Cool Whip and cherries
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) angel food cake mix (make sure it’s the kind that only requires water)
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
Optional Topping:
- Cool Whip or whipped cream
- Maraschino cherries
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish or line it with parchment if desired.
2. Mix the Cake
In a large mixing bowl, combine the entire box of angel food cake mix with the can of crushed pineapple juice and all. The mixture will foam up a bit—that’s totally normal and part of the magic!
Stir until fully combined and fluffy.
3. Bake
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Cool & Top
Let the cake cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, spread a generous layer of Cool Whip over the top and finish it off with maraschino cherries for a fun, fruity pop.
Tips & Tricks
- Want to make it fancy? Add shredded coconut or toasted almonds on top of the whipped cream.
- Serve it chilled straight from the fridge for a refreshing treat.
- This cake stores beautifully—just cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
