Easiest Easter Cake Ever

For those of us planning Easter dinner, here's a recipe I just tried, and plan to repeat, for Easter - a light dessert after a hearty meal:

One box angel food cake mix
One 20 oz can of undrained crushed pineapple

Mix together for 1 minute. Pour into ungreased angel food cakepan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
Turn upside down to cool, then release from the pan.

I am serving this with whipped cream and a sprinkle of coconut.

Adding a little rum for flavor, this Easter cake would become the Easiest Pina Colada Cake Ever.

On second thought, I just may bake the pina colada version for Easter!

March 26…

And it was my b’day.

Woke up to presents from the family, got a free cup of java at the local bank, and got my free B&J’s cone (raspberry ripple). With gift money from Mom, Geo directed me to the gardening shop where I walked out with a potted self-watering herb garden – cilantro, parsley, basil and rosemary.

J-Ro sent a bouquet with vase of multi-colored roses – what a sweet surprise from a sweet girl. She’s promised me that home-cooked Thai meal on her next visit!

Geo invited me to an evening concert of Shostokovitch and Messiaen – an ecstatic performance of violin, piano, clarinet, and (Geo’s favorite) the cello.

Addie invited me to a fun nite out (last nite) of Margueritas, appetizers and tacos.(Let's do this again!)

There’s a B&J ice cream cake still in the freezer…A fab way to begin a new year!

Thank you, Everyone!
