Make a Delicious Low Fat Pineapple Cake for $5

Always living on a budget, I pride myself in finding easy and economical recipes.  I especially love recipes with 5 ingredients or less, thus reducing my costs.  So when my mom told me about a pineapple cake that can be made for around $5, I was thrilled!  Throw in the fact that this pineapple cake is delicious AND low-fat and I'm hooked. 

In fact, now this scrumptious pineapple cake is my "go to" dessert in a pinch, because it can be made a day before and takes only 30 minutes to prepare. 

It contains 3 simple ingredients:  a can of crushed pineapple, a container of whipped topping and an angel food cake.  The pineapple and topping can be purchased at Aldi for a dollar or so each, while the angel food cake can be found at just about any large supermarket for around $2.

Here is the simple recipe:

• Grease a 9 by 13 pan
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Pour angel food cake into a large bowl
• Add can of crushed pineapple undrained and beat with an electric mixer until smooth
• Spread into the 9 by 13 pan and bake for 25 minutes
• Let cool completely and frost with whipped topping
• Serve with a bowl of fresh strawberries (optional)
