2 Ingredient Pineapple Cake (With Pineapple Sauce)

Submitted by HokiesMom

"From American Heart Association Healthy Recipes booklet. A cake that smells like a pineapple upside down cake but without all the fat and calories. The sauce really adds a lot to the cake but is optional if you just want a low-key dessert."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 5mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 1 cake
• Serves: 20

ingredients

• Cake

• 1 (16 ounce) package angel food cake mix
• 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, in juice (not syrup)

• Pineapple Sauce

• 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, in juice (not syrup)
• 2 tablespoons orange marmalade
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F and lightly spray a 13x9x2" baking pan with nonstick spray.
2. Put cake mix in a large bowl and stir in undrained pineapple until well combined.
3. Pour mixture into baking pan and smooth down the surface. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
4. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for about 30 minutes then run a thin knife around the edges of the cooled cake before slicing and removing from pan. Serve alone or with the following pineapple sauce (which I highly recommend).
5. For Pineapple Sauce: While cake is cooling, in a small saucepan, gently stir together the sauce ingredients until the cornstarch is dissolved.
6. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and boil for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently.
7. Remove pan from heat and let cool slightly.
8. Serve the warm sauce over the cake slices.
9. Store leftover sauce in a container with a tight fitting lid. You can serve additional sauce either cold or reheat in the microwave till just warm.

Awesome cake (we didn't make the sauce- we might try that next time). Note to self- next time, use the LARGEST bowl I have to mix it because my "kind of large" bowl resulted in spillover. =D

This cake was so good. Hard to believe it's only 2 ingredients and totally fat-free. I made this to take to a dinner party, so I made the sauce to go with it. Everyone enjoyed this, and it was the perfect light finish to a hearty meal. The leftovers were great on their own with no sauce as a snacking cake.

This was easy and a great snack cake. I didn't use the sauce cause I couldn't wait to let it cool but next time I'm going to try it. Thanks for a great, easy, and yummy recipe!
