How To Make pineapple angel food cake

• Step 1
  Mix the angel food cake mix with the crushed pineapple in a mixing bowl with a large spoon.  Mix just fold in well blended.  DO NOT use an electric mixer.  That will beat too much air into this. 
• Step 2
  Pour the batter into a 9"x13" baking pan that has been sprayed well with nonstick spray.   Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.   Remove from oven and cool.  Before cutting in squares, run a sharp knife around the edges of the pan. 
• Step 3
  To make the pineapple sauce, melt the butter in a deep sauce pan on medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until it has dissolved and slightly caramelized.  Add the pineapple and salt.  Mix the cornstarch with the 1/4 cup cold water until smooth.  Stir into the pineapple sauce and bring up to a boil for a couple of minutes.  Don't let it boil over and stir frequently.  Remove from heat and stir the vanilla in.  Serve while warm over cake slices.   This also makes  a great topping for vanilla ice cream. But the cake is delicious without topping also!
