Yield 1 9x13 cake

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (16-oz.) box of angel food cake mix

Whipped topping (optional)
Pineapple chunks or fresh berries (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine angel food cake mix and crushed pineapple (do not drain) until no dry spots of cake mix are visible. Do not overmix.
