I am looking for a recent post for a luau cake. It was a can of pineapple crushed mixed with an angel food cake mix with cool whip for icing and then roasted coconut I believe.
I found this recipe for you, I'm sure you can swap the yellow cake for angel food. Hope it helps. Enjoy.
Luau Cake
1 yellow cake mix
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
Mix and bake cake mix according to package directions in a 9x13 pan.
Mix pudding with 5 cups milk. Beat cream cheese until fluffy, mix with pudding. Spread on the cooled cake. Sprinkle with the drained pineapple. Spread cool whip over this. Sprinkle with coconut and almonds. Decorate with marischino cherries.
I call this "Jewel's Cake" because my lovely neighbor, named Jewel, gave it to me.
One box of angel food cake mix (Betty Crocker works best)
1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple in juice (NOT heavy syrup) DO NOT DRAIN.
Follow directions on cake mix box for mixing and baking the cake, EXCEPT substitute the 20 oz. can of crushed pineapple for the water. Bake in angel food cake pan according to directions. Immediately invert pan over the neck of a soda water bottle.
Rather than icing the cake, serve the icing or topping separately. That way you don't have to refrigerate any left over cake.
Topping: Either Cool Whip by itself, or try this:
1 16 oz. can of Del Monte's crushed pineapple in juice.
1 12 oz. container of Cool Whip (thawed)
1 3 oz. box of instant pudding (coconut, French vanilla, or your choice)
Mix all together and serve separately with cake.
1 box Betty Crocker angel food cake mix (no substitutes)
1 can (15 1/4 oz) crushed pineapple, sweet or unsweetened
Put cake mix into mixer bowl and add undrained pineapple. Beat until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Put in a tube pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and dusted with flour. Bake at 350° until golden brown, about 30 minutes. When cool frost with Cool Whip and coconut, as desired.
When making the Angel food cake mix and crushed pineapple. Make sure the cake mix is the ONE STEP cake mix. It works equally well with any brand cake mix.
This one is good and easy, not to mention I got it from Weight Watchers.
