Ingredients

  • 1 prepared angel food cake
  • 20 ounce can crushed pineapple in juice undrained
  • 3.4 ounce box vanilla instant pudding
  • 1 ½ cups whipped topping
  • 7-10 fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  • Cut cake horizontally in three layers.
  • In a medium bowl, mix pineapple with dry pudding mix.
  • Stir in whipped topping.
  • Place bottom layer of cake on a cake stand or serving plate.
  • Top with a third of the pudding mixture. Repeat for the next two layers.
  • Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  • Top with strawberries immediately before serving.

Notes

  1. Cake Preparation: When cutting the angel food cake into three layers, use a serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion to ensure clean and even cuts. Take care to keep the layers intact to maintain the structure of the cake. If the cake is too crumbly, chilling it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before slicing can make it easier to work with.
  2. Pudding Mixture: Ensure a smooth and creamy consistency for the pudding mixture by thoroughly combining the crushed pineapple with the dry vanilla instant pudding mix before folding in the whipped topping. This creates a light and fluffy filling that pairs perfectly with the airy texture of the angel food cake. Be gentle when folding in the whipped topping to avoid deflating it.
  3. Assembly and Refrigeration: Assemble the Angel Lush Cake by alternating layers of cake with layers of the pineapple-pudding mixture. Start with the bottom layer of cake on the cake stand or serving plate, and evenly spread a third of the pudding mixture over it. Repeat with the remaining cake layers and pudding mixture. Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 1-2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together and the cake to set. Just before serving, top the cake with fresh strawberries for a vibrant and delicious finishing touch.
