The Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make Pineapple Angel Food Cake (the exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the easy to print recipe card):

Crushed pineapple – you’ll need a 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple for this recipe. Do not drain off the liquid in the can as it is needed to give the cake the right amount of moisture.
Angel food cake mix – be sure to check the directions on the box to find the right cake mix. Use an angel food mix that only requires water to be added and not eggs or other ingredients. The Duncan Hines Signature angel food cake mix worked perfectly, but other brands should be fine as well.
Garnish if desired – homemade whipped cream is a wonderful easy frosting for this cake.

How to Make Pineapple Angel Food Cake

Begin by preheating the oven to 350F degrees. Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by spraying with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the dry angel food cake mix and the crushed pineapple with the juice from the can. Mix until well combined.

The batter will be light and should foam up once fully mixed.

Pour the cake batter into the prepared 9×13 baking dish.

Bake the cake at 350F degrees for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the cake from the oven and set aside to cool completely to room temperature.

Add whipped cream as frosting and toppings such as pineapple chunks.

Toppings for Angel Food Cake with Pineapple

Whipped cream – you can use a ready-made whipped topping, or try making your own homemade whipped cream with our easy recipe.

Frosting – any vanilla or cream cheese frosting you like will work well with this cake.

Glaze – make a simple glaze made with powdered sugar, a splash of vanilla extract, and just enough milk or cream to create a glaze you can drizzle onto the cake.

Powdered sugar – a dusting of powdered sugar is pretty, sweet, and finishes the angel food cake nicely.

Fruit – slices of pineapple (we used canned pineapple chunks), fresh berries, mandarin oranges, or other bite-sized pieces of fruit will garnish the cake beautifully and add more delicious fresh flavor.

Coconut – sprinkle on some sweetened or toasted coconut.

How to Store Leftover Pineapple Angel Food Cake

Keep any leftover Pineapple Angel Food Cake covered tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. The cake will stay fresh for up to three days.

Can I use pineapple juice instead of water in a cake mix?

Use pineapple juice to make a cake from a boxed mix. Simply replace the oil, milk, or water called for in the recipe with pineapple juice in equal proportions. A yellow or white cake works best, since the pineapple flavor could clash or get lost if you use chocolate or another flavor.

Can you bake an angel food cake in a 9x13 pan?

There is no rule that says you must bake an angel food cake in a tube pan. It can be made in a 9 X 13! It will take less time to bake and it will require some patience and gentle effort to get it out of the pan. In retrospect, I probably should have used parchment paper or wax paper on the bottom of the pan.

Does Angel Food Pineapple cake need to be refrigerated?

Should You Refrigerate Pineapple Angel Food Cake? Yes, you should! Just like other cakes, the best way to store angel food cake is to refrigerate it.
