Pineapple Angel Food Cake

1 angel food cake mix
1 20 oz can crushed pineapple

Pour pineapple into 9x13 pan (do NOT drain). Pour dry cake mix over the pineapple and mix with a spoon until moist.

Place immediately in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

I came across this recipe yesterday on Food Storage Made Easy website. It is called a pantry staple recipe and for me it definitely was. I have a couple of angel food cake mixes in the pantry and pineapple. I had been thinking I would make just an angel food cake with strawberries for Easter dinner because it is light dessert after eating ham and potatoes. Besides sounding good I loved that it only takes two ingredients.

We did have it today after lunch and it was FANTASTIC! I am a lover of pineapple and angel food cake and this cake hit the mark for both. It is so moist and delicious! I cut up fresh strawberries over the top which was a perfect compliment to the cake. I could have added a dollop of whipped topping but we didn't have any available and it was still great.

After I tasted the cake it reminded me of a cake my grandma used to make. It was a white cake that she would poke holes in and pour strawberry jello and top with pineapple and vanilla pudding and cool whip. I think I'm going to have to try that next time we have to take a dessert to something and this cake would be perfect for the base instead of white cake.

Enjoy!
