Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone! I can't believe the craziness of the holidays is already behind us! I've already started thinking about new recipes I want to try next Christmas...but for now, maybe we should get back on the right 'diet' track after all that extra holiday munching. ;-) This recipe is not only SUPER easy but also NOT totally calorie-laden. Call me lazy on this one but I saw the recipe while browsing Pinterest and it looked too simple and yummy to pass up. And to be honest, I'm still a bit worn out from all the crazy December baking that this was a good 'ease back in' recipe!

PINEAPPLE ANGEL FOOD CAKE

What you need for the cake:
1 box Angel Food Cake mix
1 can 20oz crushed pineapple (with juice- don't drain)
To make the cake:
1.  Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Mix the can of pineapple (juice and all) and the cake mix in a bowl with a whisk. The mixture will become very foamy.
3. Pour batter into ungreased 13x9 pan and bake in oven for 20-25 minutes (until golden on the edges).
This cake is good all on its' own but...
To make this a little more interesting, you could:
1. Top with plain whipped topping (like Cool Whip) OR
2. Mix a small can of crushed pineapple (with juice) into an instant vanilla pudding. Then, add this mixture to a container of whipped topping and let sit for 3-5 minutes. Top cake with the vanilla-pineapple-whipped topping. Yum!!

ENJOY!!
