Pineapple Angel Food Cake

Ingredients

Angel food cake mix

1 package (about 15 ounces)

Crushed pineapple

1 cup, including juice

Fresh pineapple slices

for garnish

Whipped cream

2 cups, for topping

Mint leaves

for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel food cake mix and the crushed pineapple (including the juice). Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix to maintain the cake's airy texture.
3. Pour the mixture into an ungreased angel food cake pan. Do not grease the pan, as this helps the cake rise properly.
4. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cake springs back when lightly touched.
5. Remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert the pan onto a wire rack. Let it cool completely in this position to maintain its height.
6. Once the cake is cooled, carefully run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Gently remove the cake from the pan.
7. Transfer the cake to a serving plate and top generously with whipped cream.
8. Garnish with fresh pineapple slices and mint leaves for a vibrant touch.
9. Slice and serve, enjoying the fluffy texture and delightful tropical flavor.
