PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER So it has been almost a year since this Triple Berry Angel Food Cake Roll entered the world and went immediately viral. Obviously it was time for its equally as tasty sister here: The Pineapple Lush Angel Food Cake Roll! I know many of you have probably seen the classic Angel Lush cake from Kraft — it seems to be in every Spring magazine or newsletter and it’s a recipe that I remember being served at many family gatherings as a child. My grandma even clipped the recipe out of Kraft magazine to add to the cookbook of favourite family recipes that she gave to me when I was married (always from there: these Sour Cream Cookies, this Lazy Daisy Cake, and this Hot Fudge Sundae Cake!) Crushed pineapple just seems to be one of those things that show up in these retro desserts, and you either love it or hate it. Me? I’ll almost never turn down a dessert. I’m actually having a hard time thinking of one right now that I don’t like! How about you? What are your least favorite desserts? Cake rolls are so pretty but, as I learned when I made that Triple Berry Angel Food Cake Roll, they really don’t work unless you have the right cake recipe. Boxed angel food cake? It’s so easy and turns out every time, plus it rolls so easily without cracking! I know it’s not that glamorous, and I know it’s not 100% made from scratch (feel free to make yours from scratch!), but it’s quick, easy, delicious and a lighter option for serving after a big meal (or if you’re just one who’s prone to eating half a cake in one sitting…. not that I’d know anything about that).
Tips and Tricks for Making this Pineapple Lush Angel Food Cake Roll:
You can absolutely mix up the filling if you aren’t a fan of pineapple — or just try my Triple Berry Angel Food Cake Roll instead 😉 You can make the cake ahead of time, roll it up in the towel and leave in the refrigerator for a couple days until you are ready to roll — just be sure there is no cake exposed or place in a plastic bag to keep it fresh. This makes it a great dessert for those busy holiday dinners! Toasted coconut goes perfectly with this, so go a little pina colada if that’s your thing 😉
