After a record breakingly frigid winter, temps are finally rising in the north east. Spring is in full swing. Warm weather thoughts usually end up with me cooking something involving tequila, grilling with bourbon glazes, or involving a pina colada-ish flavors. Lush. In celebration of 70 degree sunny skies in CT, I baked a cake. This is usually how I celebrate major things like warm weather, Max noticing his shadow for the first time, or ya know… like the fact that I made it to work without spit up on my shirt. Major life events 😛
I’m also excited about a new feature up in here at FSL y’all. *drumroll* Printable recipes! mmmsk mmmsk. I literally did a mini celebration dance when I figured out how to do this. I hate when I want to print a recipe from a blog and the whole post (or worse) the whole front page of the blog prints out. Not here ladies and gents, not here. Click the little “print this” button down below and stuff the recipe in your purse to make tonight. Also, it uses real recipe words, not the Mindy-liscious version (dump the can into the bowl, stir, and lick the spoon). Yes, guys, I’m legit now. Think of this as your recipe translator.
I pinned this recipe on Pinterest not because of a gorgeous drool-inducing photograph, or with hopes that it would grant me superstar pastry chef status, nope. I pinned it because it involved 2 ingredients. It’s a lazy person’s dream recipe. Plus it’s fat free. Bonus.
All you need is a can of crushed pineapple & a boxed mix of angel food cake. Put the dry cake mix in a large bowl and dump the entire contents of the can in. Mix. You’ll notice that the batter will grow rather quickly.
Spray a 9″ x 13″ glass dish and pour the cake batter into the dish. Bake at 350 F for about 30 minutes or until it looks like this.
Slice and serve! I added a dollop of fat free cool whip.
Now, go ahead and pin then print this. Your taste buds will thank you

Doesn’t say what size can of pineapple. I also see tidbits in the picture not crushed. So did you use tidbits or crushed pineapple?
Mindy@FindingSilverLinings says
20 oz can. I have used both. Tidbits make small gooey pineapple pockets and crushed make it just a moist cake.
