Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 box of angel food cake mix I used Betty Crocker White Angel Food Cake Mix
  • 1 can pineapple slices / chunks in juice (20oz) drained *
  • 1 cup water *

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C / 160°C fan.
  • Move the oven shelf to the lowest position in your oven if you are cooking this cake in a Bundt tin. If you are using loaf tins you can leave the shelf in the middle of the oven.
  • Drain the juice from the can of pineapple (see notes on why I do this).
  • Place the drained pineapple slices / chunks in a food processor with 1 cup of water. Pulse until almost smooth.
  • Place the cake mix and blitzed pineapple in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 1 - 1½ minutes. It is important not to over-beat the mixture.
  • Pour the frothy mixture into an un-greased bundt pan or into two 9 inch loaf pans. (Please read additional important information above for more details on the best pans to use)
  • If using a bundt pan, cook for 40 - 45 minutes until it turns golden brown and starts to crack on the top. The cake should be dry on top with no hint of stickiness.
  • If you are using loaf pans, bake for 38 - 43 minutes until the tops turn golden brown and they have started to crack on the top. The cakes should be dry on the top with no hint of stickiness.
  • If you are using a bundt pan carefully hang it upside down on a heat proof glass bottle or can and leave it to cool for approx 1½ hours. Once cool run a knife around the edge of the pan and carefully remove the cake.
  • If you are using loaf pans, once you remove them from the oven, lie them on their sides still in the pans on a heatproof surface or wire rack until cool. To remove from the pan run a knife around the edge and turn upside down.
  • The cake is best cut with a serrated knife.
  • Serve with fresh berries and fat free greek yogurt or a little whipped cream (if you have spare Smart Points!).

Notes

  • * If you use the juice from the tinned pineapple it changes the Smart Points of this cake to 6 Smart Points per slice. I therefore drain the pineapple juice from the tin and swap in 1 cup of water. I do not find that this changes the taste at all.
  • * If you use 1 large tin (20oz) of crushed pineapple with juice or use undrained pineapple slices / pieces then you can omit the 1 cup of water BUT once slice of Pineapple Angel Food Cake will be 6 Smart Points.
