Easy Weight Watchers Instant Pot Pineapple Angel Food Cake
I keep pineapple and cake mixes in my pantry at all times. If you know me, I love a good dump cake next to my angel food cake. While those are not as light, they still are tasty. But for those unexpected guests that come by, I want to have a quick dessert I can whip up, and this pineapple angel food cake fits the bill in that department.
Can You Freeze Pineapple Angel Food Cake
Yes! Simply wrap your cooled angel food cake in aluminum foil, and then place in a freezer bag or airtight container. Freeze up to 3-6 months. Thaw and enjoy. I like to slice my cake up before I freeze so if I want just a slice or two, I can thaw it and keep the rest in the freezer.
If you go this route, just wrap each slice individually so they don’t freeze together. I have found that trick keeps me focused on my healthier choices and when I want a sweet I have one. Instead of reaching for a chocolate candy bar I go to my freezer for a piece of cake.
Does The Pineapple Angel Food Cake Need To Be Refrigerated
Yes, I prefer to refrigerate it because of the fruit. Traditional angel food can be left out, but since you have fruit that can spoil, it needs to be in the fridge or freezer once it has cooled from the oven.
Was the Weight Watchers Pineapple Angel Food Developed for Weight Watchers Specifically

Check this one out 🙂 https://www.sparklestosprinkles.com/instant-pot-cheesy-cauliflower/ It is equally amazing!
Yes you sure can. 🙂
Where is the print button for the recipe??!!!
Do you cover the bowl or IP acceptable pan with foil during cooking?
you do not have to cover it at all. The first time I made it, I meant to cover it and as with most things, I forgot. It came out great. My tried and tested results with all cakes, dump cakes and cream brulee they do not need to be covered. Sometimes you may have a bit of moisture on the top after cooking but it does not change the end result or taste. 🙂
I have a 7 inch stainless steel pan will this be ok to use instead of glass and will the cook time change?
Yes you can definitely use that and cooking time would be the same
My angel food cake mix had 2 parts to it. One was regarding egg whites. Do you use both packets in the cake mix?
yes, use all parts of the cake mix. Enjoy 🙂
