Simple cake

Last year, my readers told me how much they like the simple cake made with a chocolate cake mix and a can of cherries.

Well, I’ve got another one for you that’s even easier. It’s a pineapple cake with two ingredients: an angel food cake mix, which is naturally fat free, and a can of crushed pineapple in its own juice. I’m not kidding. That’s all you put in this delicious cake.

While looking for a “light” dessert recipe, I ran across this super-simple dessert recipe. I couldn’t wait to try it, because, as I’ve said before, I love to experiment with recipes that intrigue me. And I was intrigued by a two-ingredient cake!

I made the cake for dinner one night and topped it with a dollop of light whipped topping, and we loved it! My husband, Reggie, and I are pineapple fans anyway, so I knew it would be a hit. My 3-year-old granddaughter even had a slice and liked it!

We kept the cake on the counter for several days, and Reggie and I didn’t feel guilty about having a slice of it for a snack.

If you like pineapple and want a quick and easy treat, give this recipe a try!


Pineapple Angel Food Cake

• Angel Food cake mix (I used Betty Crocker)
• 14.5 oz. can of crushed pineapple in its own juice (un-drained)

Add cake mix and pineapple to bowl and combine with a mixer for about 2 minutes.

Use back of box instructions for type of greased pan you use and bake accordingly. The cake box might say to use ungreased pan, but I greased the pan for this recipe.
