Ingredients for Pineapple Angel Food Cake
Angel Food Cake – Any box of angel food cake mix will work but make sure you select the box that’s just one package (16 oz) instead of two.
Pineapple – Use a can of crushed pineapple with juices, and skip the other ingredients mentioned on the box. The pineapple juice is what makes this cake so moist.
How to Make Pineapple Angel Food Cake
There won’t be much waiting around for this dessert to be ready!
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
- Pour the prepared cake batter into a prepared pan.
- Bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
We most often bake this in a 9×13 pan but it can be baked in an ungreased angel food cake pan or tube pan for 40-45 minutes. A bundt pan is not recommended as it will be hard to remove.
Toppings
Cool the cake completely before adding toppings. Add a dollop of whipped topping (like Cool Whip) to make it easy or whip up a batch of homemade whipped cream or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
This pineapple angel food cake can be topped with fruit like fresh berries, peaches, or mango. It’s also great sprinkled with shredded coconut.
How to Store
Once baked, this pineapple angel food cake recipe can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freeze the whole cooled cake by wrapping it in plastic wrap for up to 4 weeks and thaw before frosting. Or, freeze leftover frosted pieces on a baking sheet until they are frozen solid then wrap them in plastic and return to the freezer.

I have not tried this as cupcakes so I can’t say for sure, but other readers have with great success. If you try it I would love to hear how it turns out Alice!
