❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Angel Cake with Pineapple
1. Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
Yes you can use fresh pineapple. Just crush it finely and drain off the excess juice. You might need to adjust the sweetness since canned pineapple is usually sweeter.
2. How should I store this cake?
Store the cake covered at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
3. Can I make this cake ahead of time?
