ANGEL LUSH WITH PINEAPPLE

 I love angel food cake! It is so light and doesn't feel like you are eating any calories. 😄 My mother made angel food cakes but I don't think I have ever actually made one. It seems so scary getting it out of the pan. I think it will end up falling apart. Friend Janice makes them all of the time so I just need to jump in there and give it a try.

This recipe is a favorite of Friend Vicky and I'm so glad. In fact everyone at canasta thinks so. It was the perfect dessert after an afternoon of fun canasta. I don't remember if I were on the winning team or not -- that's how good this dessert was.

(A personal note...if you want to reduce the calories, just use a sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix, sugar-free whipped topping, and crushed pineapple in its own juice.)
