Pineapple Angel Food Cake
- 1 box Betty Crocker Angel Food Cake Mix, 16 oz. {make sure to use the 'just add water' variety}
- 1 can of Crushed Pineapple ~ approx. 20 oz.
- Optional: Cool Whip and Coconut for topping
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In large mixing bowl, mix powdered Angel Food Cake Mix and Crushed Pineapple together {including the juice from the can} - don’t add any other ingredients.
- Transfer mixture into 9×13 ungreased ceramic baking dish. {Do NOT grease pan}
- Bake for 33 – 38 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- After baking, it is completely normal for your cake to fall in the middle as it cools.

February 28, 2019 at 2:01 amThank you for the recipe, it was so good!
I layered sweetened coconut flakes on half of the cake before baking. It made a yummy crunchy, toasted coconut topping. Highly recommend!
Heidi says
March 14, 2019 at 11:29 amThat sounds delicious, Esther! 🙂

May 12, 2018 at 5:17 pmOh my word! Made this exactly as recipe calls for…gifting to precious daughter in law & family for Mother’s Day…delicious and so easy. I baked in a 9 x 13 ungreased for 35 minutes…didn’t turn upside down. Perfection!
Heidi says
May 20, 2018 at 11:28 pmSo glad you enjoyed it, Sue! What a fun Mother’s Day gift!
Anne says
April 1, 2018 at 3:41 pmI am using this recipe for Easter dinner dessert tomorrow. Instead of pineapple, I added a can of fruit cocktail. It baked very nice so cooling it upside down right now using 2 loaf pans. Can’t wait to icing it and decorate it for tomorrow.

January 31, 2017 at 8:28 pmDoes this cake need to be refrigerated after you make it.
Dee Powers says
August 16, 2015 at 11:21 amshould you us a beater or a wooden spoon when making a 2 ingredient angel cake
Heidi says
August 16, 2015 at 1:52 pmHi Dee ~ I always stir it with a wooden spoon when making this. 🙂 Enjoy!
Lisa says
July 1, 2015 at 12:49 pmHave made this many times and it’s delicious!
Dawn says
May 4, 2015 at 4:39 pmCan I substitute white cake mix for angel food cake mix
Joanie Wharff says
November 24, 2014 at 2:50 amI’ve made this cake numerous times. The only time it sank in the.middle was the first time….my daughter gave me the recipe, & forgot to tell me to turn it over to coo…lol…tasted good, just looked funny. The one thing is NOT use a pan with a coating !…Pyrex or Cornog is the best !
This cake is fat free until until you put whipped cream or Cool Whop on it…lol….but, it do taste Yummy! It does have a spongy like texture, but that is the nature of the Angel Food Cake . You like or not, it’s a personal thing. I love it! My hubby really likes it! Enjoy a Yummy cake!

July 11, 2014 at 3:17 pmI make mine in a 12 cup bundt pan and bake it for 45min and turn it upside down on funnel I also used apple pie filling and lemon I put cinnamon sugar on top of apple pie cake Great quick dessert YUMMY
Lillian Fuerst says
July 11, 2014 at 3:19 pmIf you dont turn upside down it doesnt stay high it flattens Thats what you do with angel food cakes anyway
Holly says
May 23, 2014 at 10:06 amMake sure if you live in higher altitudes(above 3500 ft) that you add 1-2 tbs cornstarch into mix so it won’t collapse.
Denise says
April 15, 2014 at 6:16 amI used a one step Angel Food mix and one large can of crushed pineapple with juice. Mix just until combined, then pour into ungreased flat-sided bundt pan. DO NOT overmix!!!!!! Once baked @ 350 degrees for 30 – 35 minutes (watch at end of baking time) until edges become crispy and top is lightly “toast” brown. Place the bundt pan on a long necked bottle (I used a an oil bottle) to cool. Place plate over pan and invert. Cake should slide right out of pan. I decorated the whole cake with whipped cream then sprinkled chopped pineapple and chopped maraschino cherries over the top and alternated pineapple chunks and whole maraschino cherries around the bottom of the cake. Delicious!

March 30, 2014 at 4:17 pmI have made this 2 times and the last time I iced it with the cool whip icing. It was wonderful.
Ruby says
March 23, 2014 at 11:18 amI have fresh pineapple. Was wondering if I blend my pineapple in a blender will this work and have enough juice to make this cake?
sandra says
February 2, 2014 at 2:27 pmTried this today & will make thus again! I like it is both light and just enough sweetness from the pineapple.
Karin says
August 17, 2013 at 5:19 pmFor the people having cake density problems, you need ti use a ONE STEP angel mix.
Linda Sue Smith says
June 29, 2013 at 10:35 amI just made this this morning. As far as I can tell it did not rise at all. I did spray my pan, but don’t see it would make that much difference. Also used a 20 oz can of crushed pineapple. mixed just until the mix was wet, but mixture was extremely thin. taste ok but spongy. Is it worth trying again and what went wrong.

February 20, 2014 at 10:27 amDO NOT GREASE PAN IT WILL MESS UP YOUR CAKE. IF YOU HAVE GREASE ON ANY OF YOUR ITEMS IT CAN MESS UP THE WAY THE EGG WHITES REACT AND MAKE IT GO “FLAT”! THE BOX EVEN TELLS YOU THIS (MOST BRANDS). GOOD LUCK NEXT TIME!
lori says
June 19, 2013 at 7:55 pmMade this cake and it was fine without turning upside down to cool. Just a slight indentation in middle which didn’t bother me at all! Great tasting recipe! Thanks for posting!
Audrey says
June 11, 2013 at 9:52 pmThis was easy and delicious! However, next time I make it I will reduce the cooking time. I took it out at 32-1/2 min and it was brown and just shy of burnt, not toasty golden like the picture. Maybe it’s because I’m at a high altitude? (5700 feet) I served it with light whipped cream and fresh sliced strawberries; delicious and low fat! 🙂
Jane Briggs says
May 15, 2013 at 10:21 pmI made it today and was fairly happy. Think it might be better if it were mixed more so that it would have smaller air pockets. The pineapple goes well with the angel food. It was fun to make with all the foamy batter. I will give it another try with just baking it slower, and mixing it more for a better consistancy. I will bake it at 310-325 for 35 minutes.
Janice says
November 2, 2018 at 6:28 amI mix it until it gets real foamy. Then I put it in a glass pan. Has always worked great.
Kathy says
May 10, 2013 at 3:44 pmI made the Angel Food & Pineapple yesterday. Quick & easy, & is very yummy.
For those who have done this with the Cherry Pie Filling –
do you use just the two ingredients (Angel Food mix & pie filling)??
sharon says
July 5, 2014 at 4:13 pmyes just the 2 and its fantastic, l barely got a piece!
haven’t tried the pineapple yet, just the cherry
stephanie says
November 16, 2014 at 1:39 amdo you still need the 20oz of the cherry? and have you tried pumpkin or anything like that?
cathy says
March 29, 2013 at 10:45 amI just found this recipe, made it today, it is cooling right now, can’t wait for my husband to get home from work and try it. I read alot of the comments, I hope mine turns out, as my family loves angel food cake and I want to make another one using the cherry pie filling. p.s. my 5 year old niece was helping me make this and she called it the magic cake when it started foaming. 🙂
Jeanne Huebner says
February 22, 2013 at 3:18 pmI poured mine into an angel food cake tube pan
And had no trouble with it falling out of the pan.
We are having it for dessert tonight. Can’t wait!
Looks absolutely scrumptious ! Just know it will
Be good! Thanks so much! Husband just walked
In from work and asked what smelled so delicious !
Claire says
November 7, 2013 at 11:21 amI like your idea of using a tube pan.
Lori says
March 18, 2016 at 10:41 amWhat size tube pan?
Kelly says
October 24, 2012 at 10:02 pmI have cook something just like this my bother show me how. You take your can pineapple 2 to 3 depends on your pan and you need butter. Take your pineapple put it in your pan with the juices take your dry yellow cake mix put on top then take your stick butter cut it up and cover your cake mix up then pop it in to the oven until cake is done. Not the healthes for you but really good and no dumping it out of the pan. Best when served warm.
Judy Ann says
June 6, 2014 at 9:45 amThat’s a dump cake. I make them all the time and so delicious. The recipe I have show melt the butter and pour over the top. I have added crushed graham cracker crumbs over the cake mix (yellow or chocolate) never tried angel food mix. I have evn put nuts and coconut over the cake mix..possibilities are endless for adding ingredients. Sooo good!
Helen says
October 6, 2012 at 1:26 pmThis cake is SO easy to make and SO absolutely delicious!!!
Sandra says
September 2, 2012 at 1:39 pmI just made this with canned cherry pie filling ! YUMMY !!
Heather says
August 23, 2012 at 3:53 pmI made this cake a few weeks ago and while it was delicious, when I tried turning it upside down right out of the oven the whole thing fell apart.
Heidi says
August 23, 2012 at 4:21 pmHi Heather ~ hmm… I’m not sure what happened. I’ve never had mine fall out. Make sure to use an ungreased baking dish and cook long enough until it’s getting a little toasty around the edges. Hope that helps! 😉
~ Heidi
Heather says
August 25, 2012 at 4:51 pmI think I figured it out! I think I used pineapple chunks instead of crushed pineapple and it was too heavy. I can’t wait to try it again!
Heidi says
August 25, 2012 at 5:07 pmOh yes… that would explain it. Try it again with the crushed pineapple… hope that works better for you! {it’s SO yummy!}
Bethany says
August 23, 2012 at 10:50 amIt does work with regular white cake mix as well as yellow cake mix. It is delicious and soooo easy THe only thing I did different was make the cake batter as stated, put it in a pan, and dumped the pineapple with juice right in making sure it was evenly spread out. This doesn’t even need a topping — its great by itself. I’ll have to try this way as its much easier 🙂
sandra gooden says
February 28, 2013 at 4:18 pmthis recipe calls for angel food cake mix not white or yellow cake mix there is a differance, i used the angel food like it says and it did not turn out, it did not raise or get foamy, it was like trying to eat a sponge. i wasted my ingred. so which is it white or yellow cake mix or angel food cake mix like the picture shows?
Thabal says
August 23, 2012 at 9:58 amThat looks yummy 🙂
