The method

Step by step

1
Place the angel food cake on a large serving platter or cake stand.
About 1 min
2
Using a long serrated knife, carefully slice the cake horizontally into three even layers.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: A bread knife works well for this task.
3
In a large bowl, combine the instant lemon pudding mix and the entire can of undrained crushed pineapple.
About 2 min
4
Stir the mixture with a spatula until the pudding powder is fully dissolved and it begins to thicken.
About 2 min
5
Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pineapple mixture until it is just combined and no streaks remain.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the whipped topping.
6
Place the bottom layer of the cake onto the platter and spread about one-third of the frosting evenly across its surface.
About 1 min
7
Carefully place the middle cake layer on top and spread another third of the frosting over it.
About 1 min
8
Position the final cake layer on top.
About 1 min
9
Use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the entire cake, smoothing it with a spatula.
About 2 min
10
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the frosting to set before slicing and serving.
About 2 hr
Cook’s note: For best results, chill for up to 4 hours to let the flavors fully meld.
