Ingredients

• 1 box Angel food cake mix
• 20 oz Crushed pineapple (including juice)
• 1 bottle Nonstick baking spray
• 1 cup Whipped topping (optional, for garnish)
• 0 as needed Pineapple chunks or maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard muffin tin with cupcake liners or spray with nonstick baking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel food cake mix and the crushed pineapple, including all of the juice. Mix thoroughly until the batter is light and foamy.

Step 3

Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, evenly divide the batter among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 4

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops of the cupcakes are golden brown and bounce back when lightly touched.

Step 5

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6

Once cooled, garnish the cupcakes with whipped topping, pineapple chunks, or maraschino cherries, if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
