Pineapple angel food cake is bursting with sweet pineapple pieces in every bite. Light, fluffy, and delicious, this cake is easy to make with just 5 ingredients.
20ouncescrushed pineapple in natural pineapple juiceun-drained
½teaspoonpure vanilla extract
1cupCool Whipthawed (optional garnish)
10maraschino cherriesoptional garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set it aside.
Add the angel food cake mix to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Stir in the un-drained crushed pineapple and the vanilla. Stir until all the cake batter is completely incorporated. The batter will be foamy.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes away clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
Once the cake is cooled, add the Cool Whip to either a disposable piping bag with the bottom snipped off or a quart-size Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.
Squeeze a ½ dollar size dollop of Cool Whip in the center of each cake slice (about 1½ tablespoons). Top each Cool Whip swirl with a cherry.
