Just one bite of this beautiful, light, fluffy, tonguegasmic cake and you’ll understand immediately why I’m calling it a Sunshine Cake.
This is super simple, a GREAT recipe to make with the kids and the absolute perfect treat for those hot summer days.
Sunshine Cake
adapted from a Jello box recipe
- 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple in juice (do not drain)
- 1 package (3.4 oz) French Vanilla Instant Jello Pudding
- 2 C Cool Whip (thawed, obviously)
- 1 (10 oz) round Angel Food Cake
- Fresh Fruit: Strawberries and Blueberries are my suggestions
- Slice the Angel Food Cake into 3 layers a hint.. freeze the cake for about 15 minutes to half an hour before slicing
- Mix the pineapple and pudding mix. Slowly add in Cool Whip, until fully blended. (This is a great part for the kids)
- Spread the pudding/whip/pineapple mixture on top of the bottom layer of cake and top with sliced strawberries (and blueberries)
- Top with layer 2 of the Angel Food Cake.
- Repeat the layering, mix, fruit steps on layers 2 and 3.
My cake only has strawberries because the store was out of blueberries and we *sob* don’t have a farmers market.

And hey – you don’t have a Farmers’ Market? WTH?? That’s just tragic. Did you see the pics I posted of ours? It’s so awesome! You need to complain to the city or something.

I have one similar but without the jello and you make the cake. Yours sounds easier.
