Easy Flavored Angel Food Cake or Cupcakes?



Easy Flavored Angel Food Cake

It is a great idea to keep a few 8 ounce cans of crushed pineapple in the pantry for anytime one might want to bake a moist carrot cake or this flavorful angel food cake. I have substituted crushed strawberries in this recipe when my nephew requested a "strawberry" cake and I did not wish to use food coloring.


1 box angel food cake mix
1 8 ounce can crushed pineapple in its own juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice or water
1/4 cup water

Mix all ingredients, beat at medium speed for one minute, and place into angel food cake pan, do not over mix, use a timer.

Bake in preheated 350 F oven for 45 minutes, do not under bake. Turn cake upside down in pan until it cools. Using a knife, carefully cut around the cake so that it can be removed from the pan in one piece.

If you wish you can frost this cake when it has completely cooled. A fat-free frosting that we like on this cake is very hard to find, but one can order it from General Mills. It is called Betty Crocker Home Style Fluffy White Frosting Mix. The frosting has egg whites in it and the box says it may contain milk ingredients.

Here is the cake without frosting, kind of like cotton candy!

For the chocolate lovers out there, the angel food cake box should have some directions for making this into a chocolate angle food cake.

Watermelon Cake?

I saw a recipe where they cut the rind completely off a large piece of watermelon the size of a cake and frost it with homemade whipping cream and berries!

No bake is a wonderful idea -- the cake is an alternative to my frosted angel food cake as there is no cake in the watermelon cake, the inside is pure watermelon.

It looks wonderful, but I think I would prefer a nonfat frosting, like Betty Crocker's Fluffy Frosting, which is composed of primarily egg white and sugar. It is a light and fluffy frosting.

The white frosting is decorated with blueberries and raspberries for a red, white, and blue, July 4th design!

I wonder how this cake would be half watermelon on the bottom and half angel food, for a really high cake!
