Angel food Pineapple cake dessert

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Apr 16, 2013 · Modified: Feb 4, 2025

Hey there!

Last week I shared this Angel food Pineapple cake dessert recipe on my facebook page and thought,

I should share it over here as well.

No brainer

easy

refreshing

and delish!

Angel food Pineapple surprise dessert.

Two ingredients..

Angel food cake mix

and a can of 21 oz. crushed pineapple.

Mix the two together…

YES, juice and ALL!

Pour in greased bundt pan

or pan of choice.

Bake according to cake box.

You may top this cake off with whip cream and strawberries too…

blueberries, or whatever refreshing fruit you would like.

Now the funny part is…

by the time this cake was cooled…

I went down to take a picture of it.

HOWEVER, my stinkin boys, had demolished it, and left me one piece in a bowl.

I kid you NOT.

I wanted to pinch their faces off, and not in a good way:)

So here is a picture of what it did look like for the most part in whole.

NOTE:  Because this cake can drop a bit, I tried it with a yellow cake mix as well…it was outstanding! Same way, no  eggs, no oil..just the cake mix and the crushed pineapple

Thanks for stopping by today.

 

This is not a cake that you turn upside down. Simply leave in pan and cut from there.

UPDATE: Today I shared and even better variation of this cake. NOT with angel food

      You can buy the Angel Food Cake Mix that doesn’t come with a separate egg white package. I think it says One Step on the package so it’s all combined. I use those for any of these types of recipes & they work great.

    You are so right Debbie, it is so hard to explain these things. They just don’t understand, I am not sure we really can either. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe, looking forward to trying it 🙂

    Debbie this sounds delicious. And you reminded me of why I tend to hide things from my boys until after I take the pictures.

    I’m nit a fan of pineapples, can this be done with Apple sauce instead?

      I have no clue…I think the juice in the pineapple is what helps the cake…applesauce has no juice, but hey you can try it and let us know:)

    Well, I made this today after work. My bundt pan is too small and overflowed onto the bottom of the oven, stinking ujp the kitchen and making such a mess after I had just cleaned the oven 2 nights ago!!!! I know, it’s funny and brings tears to my eyes, literally!!! Just had to pass this along. I shared it on my blog and the pics are there with the disaster!! Tastes really good!! I will try again, but before I clean the oven and use a bigger bundt pan! Live and learn!!!!

    I don’t think there is any way at all to explain evil. 🙁 My heart breaks for our poor children. They definitely live in a different world than the one we grew up in.

    Buongiorno Debbie,
    che bello vedere dei prodotti italiani nel tuo blog….
    In Italia la marca “Del Monte” è molto apprezzata perchè è veramente molto buona la sua frutta…. soltanto che da noi l’ananas si trova a fette nel barattolo oppure come macedonia, e non fatto a pezzi come da voi.
    Ciao Myriam :))

    It looks so perfectly light. I am generally drawn to the light desserts in the summer time. It’s either the heat or the need to feel like I’m trying to be thinner.

    And I agree about the marathon. How can you explain evil?

    I bought the ingredients…will put it together today. LOVE pineapple anything ~ 🙂

    These evil acts are difficult for us to understand….how in the world could we expect innocent kids to get it? It’s just heartbreaking that all this happens in the world and now on U.S. soil where we used to feel safe. Perhaps just explain that these people have been taught evil by those that don’t know Christ or have not had a good childhood. It’s difficult to explain as our kids/grands accept everyone as being good. Remember to be kind to others as we never know what’s going on in their lives.

    I made this today, but altered the recipe a little. I had a few bananas that were really ripe, so I smashed them up and added them to the mix along with the can of pineapple. I also added 1/2 cup of flaked coconut and some chopped marashino cherries to the cake mix. We added some whipped cream to each slice and some sliced strawberries on top. It was sooo good. Almost like a banana split cake.

      I am not sure now, you would have to use your little counter. I am betting 2 points per slice though, or 3:) Just a guess, count it with your slider.

      Yes, I got your comment. I made this cake about 4 times. 2 times it was perfect and the other two mine fell apart too. None the less it was delicious just did not look pretty. I think the key is the egg whites in the mix. That is all I can think of.

    If you live in higher altitudes(3500 ft or above) try adding 1-2 Tbs cornstarch to mix to keep it from collapsing .

    I’ve been making this cake for 17yrs. I use canned pie filling any flavor you want. Always turns out fantastic. In a 9×13 pan it will rise and then when it is taken out of the oven drop some. The most most cake you can make. Great if your in an RV as it takes up very little room and can be put together in short time. Can’t wait to try the pineapple.
