Time 40m

Yield 1 angel food cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

20 ounces crushed pineapple, un-drained
1 lime, juice of
1 lb angel food cake mix
8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup limeade, from concentrate
powdered sugar (reviewer used 4 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon rum extract
2 -4 tablespoons rum (add more if you want) (optional)
8 ounces Cool Whip Lite (a little over 3 cups)
1/3 cup toasted shredded sweetened coconut
lime zest
mint leaf

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Spray a 13×9 inch metal pan with cooking spray.
  • If you use a Pyrex dish, reduce the heat to 325ºF.
  • You can also use a 15×10 inch pan, which is what Larry uses.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the pineapple, lime juice, rum, and angel food cake mix.
  • Pour the mixture into the pan and bake it using the following cook times - 18-24 minutes for a 15×10 inch pan or about 25 minutes for a 13×9 inch pan.
  • Let cool completely in pan.
  • In mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and limeade concentrate.
  • Check for sweetness.
  • Add sugar if you feel you need it - I used 4 tablespoons.
  • Beat in rum extract and rum, if using,, then fold in Cool Whip Lite.
  • Spread over cooled cake.
  • Sprinkle with coconut and lime zest.
  • Top each serving with mint leaves.
  • Larry says, "One last thing. It's fairly low fat. You could get away with using Cool Whip Free rather than Cool Whip Lite, but I personally would not trade out the low fat cream cheese for fat free because the texture would not be as smooth.".
