My mom has been making this cake for years, it is one of her favorite cake recipes. It takes a regular angel food cake and adds crushed pineapple for an easy recipe that everyone will love! She got this angel food cake and pineapple recipe from a friend, and after a little research, I found out that this is a Betty Crocker recipe, made super popular by Weight Watchers.
EASY PINEAPPLE ANGEL FOOD DUMP CAKE
This is literally the easiest cake I have ever made. The first time I made it, I threw it together one Sunday morning. My in-laws were here for dinner that night, there wasn’t a morsel left. I made a homemade raspberry sauce to serve over the top.
I made mine in an angel food cake pan, my mom makes her’s in a regular old 9×13. No matter which way you make it, the outcome is a delicious pineapple angel food cake.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANGEL FOOD CAKE AND REGULAR CAKE?
Angel food cake is a sponge cake. It is a light airy cake, made with egg whites. Angel cake is traditionally baked in a fluted tube pan, but can also be baked in a 9×13, or loaf pan.
IS A BUNDT PAN THE SAME AS A TUBE PAN?
A bundt pan is a tube pan, but it is not recommended that you bake an angel food cake in a bundt pan.

BEST WAY TO CUT AN ANGEL FOOD CAKE
The best way to cut an angel food cake is with a serrated knife, like a bread knife. Using a back and forth sawing motion.
HOW TO SERVE PINEAPPLE ANGEL FOOD CAKE
This cake is fantastic all on its own, but if you want to jazz it up a bit, consider topping it with some fresh whipped cream or a dollop of Cool Whip non-dairy whipped topping, It’s delicious with a scoop of ice cream or fresh fruit, too. The pineapple flavor goes really well with berries like blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries.
Angel Food Cake Trifles
One of my favorite ways to use angel food cake, aside from just slicing and eating it is to use it in a trifle dessert. In fact, using the pineapple angel food cake in a trifle makes the dessert just a little more luscious!

Do you add the water
No – jus the cake mix and the crushed pineapple – DON’T drain it – use the juice.
