Heavenly Pineapple Angel Food Cake (Printable Version)

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 1 box angel food cake mix (16 oz, one-step only)
02 - 1 can crushed pineapple in juice (20 oz, undrained)

→ Optional Topping

03 - 1 tub whipped topping, thawed (8 oz)
04 - 1/2 cup toasted coconut or crushed pineapple

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish, ensuring even coverage to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry angel food cake mix with the entire can of crushed pineapple, including the juice. Stir gently but thoroughly until the batter becomes fluffy and foamy.
03 - Carefully pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly with a spatula, ensuring a smooth top surface.
04 - Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
05 - Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the cake cool completely in the pan to allow the flavors to develop and the texture to set.
06 - Top the cooled cake with thawed whipped topping and sprinkle with toasted coconut or additional pineapple chunks for extra flavor.
