Easy Dump Cake: Angel Food Pineapple Cake Recipe
What’s not to love about dump cake recipes? And this one is in a class all by itself. When you need to serve a dessert on the light side, this fits the menu! The recipe makes 16 servings, with each one providing 127 calories, 0 fat; 0 cholesterol; 29 grams carbohydrate and 1.5 grams protein. With stats like that, you can feel confident to serve it as a heart healthy and/or diabetic-friendly dessert. I always keep a box of angel food cake mix and a can of crushed pineapple on hand to make this dessert at a moment’s notice. Thanks to Jean Chase for posting Photo #6 - a whipped cream and cherry topped glamorized version!
Ingredients
- 1 16-ounce box angel food cake mix
- 1 20-ounce can crushed pineapple in its own juice, undrained
- Optional topping: Powdered sugar or whipped topping
Directions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Dump cake mix and undrained pineapple into an ungreased 9" x 12" baking pan.
- Stir together until well blended (see photos).
- Bake 25 minutes. The top should be nicely browned (see photo) and cake should be pulling away from edges. Do not underbake or cake will sink in center and be too moist.
- Cool in pan on wire rack.
- Optional: To serve, dust with powdered sugar or top with a dollop of whipped cream topping.

I have made cake many times since first reviewing the recipe. It never disappoints! I love it, not only because it's dead easy, but is not too heavy. It doesn't hurt that it makes me look like a genius in the kitchen, either. Thanks again for sharing!
Beauty!! I'm heading back into camp soon, and have been looking for easy, delicious recipes (healthy is good too).

Made this for Easter dessert. My family loved it. So simple to make. Wanted something light as some of my kids had to go to their in laws first for a brunch. This was just the right dessert after a big meal. Even the 3 yr old asked for a second helping, he is a sweet fanatic. Even the 14 yr old who is not fond of sweets loved this cake.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!1 person likes this review

Great recipe. I love simple with a wow factor; and this is it! I compare it to the soda pop cake (1 box of any flavor cake mix + 1 can of soda; that's all) - Both are awesome. Thank you for sharing.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

I made this today and we LOVED it! My 6yr old son asked for seconds and if he could have a piece for breakfast tomorrow. After seeing your last picture with icing and cherries, I added to your recipe.
I added 6 Tbsps of chopped Maraschino cherries to the batter, it was wonderful. Next time I'm going to add cherries and coconut. Thanks for sharing!1 replyI've cooked/tasted this recipe!This is a variation-

February 19, 2013Looks something my kid and i would enjoy making together. Will sure try this!
August 20, 2012Susan, a cake you can take to parties and funerals too, and which doesn't blow everyone's calorie count is perfect! Thanks for your feedback.- August 19, 2012Made this last night for dessert after a casual grill party on our screen porch. Today, I am baking another one to bring to a funeral reception. Everyone loves that it so easy to make and not as many calories as other sweet desserts.
- April 25, 2012Donna ~ Thanks so much for your review, and I am glad you enjoyed it. Some day I'm going to get brave and try it with other fruits.
- April 10, 2012Valerie ~ I'm delighted the cake hit the bullseye for your Easter dinner. And to have satisfied the kids too, is frosting on the cake, pardon the pun!
