Angel Food Cake with Pineapple Whipped Cream
I love messy cakes. I love how beautiful they look with their carefree presentation.
My mother makes this cake often. It’s divine + easy. Two words that when used together means every person should have this recipe written down or saved.
It takes 15 minutes to assemble and 1 hour of chill time.
Also – I love pineapple. It reminds me of weddings. I think that’s because my parents had a pineapple cream layered cake as their wedding cake. We’ve ordered that for many of their Anniversaries (over 50 years and going).
Also at bridal showers we serve a punch that uses pineapple as the base and it’s really good.
This particular cake was served at Easter. It was light, airy, and full of pineapple flavor.
Next time you need a cake and you don’t have time to bake this recipe is for you at that very moment.
