Ingredients
- 1 box of Angel Food Cake mix
- 1 can (20 oz) of crushed pineapple, juice included
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry Angel Food Cake mix with the entire can of crushed pineapple, including the juice. Stir until the mixture is smooth and begins to froth.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve: Slice and serve plain or with toppings like whipped cream, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Customizations
The basic recipe is fantastic on its own, but feel free to customize it:
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or a dash of cinnamon to the batter for added flavor.
- Top with whipped cream, fresh fruits, or a drizzle of caramel for an indulgent treat.
Quick Tips for Success
- Do not overmix the batter—it’s okay if it’s a bit lumpy as long as it’s well combined.
- For extra fluffiness, handle the batter gently to avoid deflating the air incorporated during mixing.
- If baking in a smaller pan, adjust the baking time accordingly and keep an eye on the cake.

This is a little confusing to me.
1. Are you mixing the angel food cake mix with the enhancers then adding the pineapple, juice and all, into the mix? Won’t that make it too thin?
2. The enhancers mention milk instead of water but there’s no mention of water or milk in the instructions.
3. The photos look like there are 2 types of icing (glaze and buttercream?) but no recipes.
Looking forward to you’re response.
Thank you for your questions! Let me clarify everything for you:
1. Mixing the Angel Food Cake mix and pineapple
You don’t need to mix the Angel Food Cake mix with any enhancers beforehand. The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity: you just combine the dry cake mix with the entire can of crushed pineapple (juice and all). The batter might seem thinner than usual, but don’t worry—that’s exactly how it should be! The pineapple juice activates the cake mix, and the natural frothiness helps create that light, fluffy texture.
2. Mention of enhancers like milk instead of water
Great observation! In this specific recipe, there’s no need for milk or water because the pineapple juice provides all the liquid you need. The tips about using milk instead of water or other enhancers are general suggestions for customizing box cake recipes, not for this particular one. I’ll make that clearer in the recipe to avoid confusion. Thanks for pointing that out!
3. Photos showing two types of icing
Good eye! The photos might have been from a version of the cake that included optional toppings. While the base recipe doesn’t include any icing, you can add your favorite toppings to elevate the cake. For a simple glaze, you can mix powdered sugar with a little pineapple juice. If you want a richer finish, buttercream frosting works beautifully too. I’ll update the recipe with optional topping ideas for more clarity and inspiration!
I hope this clears everything up! Feel free to reach out if you have more questions—I’d love to help. Happy baking!
