Easy Angel Food Cake
This is so quick and easy!
In a large bowl, add one box of Angel Food Cake Mix. To that, add 1 - 20 oz can of crushed pineapple, juice and all. With a spoon, mix well. It will bubble up, and turn into a frothy thing of beauty. Pour into a greased 9" X 13" pan, and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. This is so moist and wonderful, it does not even need to be frosted!

It is a delicious cake .... if you want to switch it up, instead of the pineapple use any can of prepared pie filling and follow the same recipe! You can put them into angel cake pans too, if you do not want a 9x13 cake.
My favourite combo is probably the apple pie filling with extra spice added to it. Second to that would be the Black Forest combo, using cherry pie filling as well as 1/3 cup bakers cocoa mixed in with the dry ingredients. Trim it up with a dusting of icing sugar and/or a wee bit of whipped cream!
I love this recipe as I can keep a box and can almost endlessly, in wait of that last minute need to make a cake problem when I don't have the ingredients and/or don't have the time!
ENJOY!!!!!

Regarding egg allergies, angel food cake (the boxed mix) has the eggs already in it, in the form of powdered egg whites.

I have made this recipe several times and we add Cool Whip to the top before eating, my friend uses vanilla pudding mix with Cool Whip added and says her family loves this. She is diabetic and uses the Sugar-Free pudding mix.

I made this cake for Easter dinner. Already had the mix on hand. Easy Peasy and delicious.
My dtr told me that Angel Food cake mix is getting hard to find. Sure enough, I was shopping
a few days later and no AF mix on the shelves.

Different fillings will make the denseness of the cake different. I.E. I used key lime pie filling (standard 15 oz. size) and the denseness was more firm and maybe 2" thick when cooled. More like a spongy bar cake. I used strawberry/rubarb and the cake rose really high and sank down to the 2" or so and was more dense. Lemon will be similar to the key lime. The chocolate filling left it a bit less dense. Same with the pineapple...probably because of the extra liquid in the can. The cherry was good but the taste was faint. It needs something else ....as topping maybe or add the cocoa powder. Because you aren't adding any other liquids that the box says the cake will not rise like a normal angel food cake and will be more dense and less fluffy in texture. This is what you might think as "tough and chewy" that makes it more like a bar cake.

My mother called this "dead cake". She kept the ingredients on hand so that when the church called and needed food for a funeral, she could whip this up. She would stop and buy Cool Whip on her way to the church.
