How to Make Angel Lush Cake With Pineapple

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare an ungreased 9 or 10-inch tube pan.
3. In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup cake flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
4. In a large bowl, beat together 12 large egg whites, ¼ cup water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract on low speed for 1 minute.
5. Increase mixer speed to medium-high and beat until the mixture has increased in volume 4 ½ to 5 times and forms soft peaks (about 1 ½ to 3 minutes).
6. Gradually add ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating for 2-3 minutes after each addition. Do not overbeat.
7. Once all sugar is incorporated, the mixture should be creamy white.
8. Gently fold in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) using a rubber spatula. Do not overmix.
9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11. Invert the cake onto a wire rack and let cool completely (at least 1 ½ hours).
12. While the cake cools, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix and 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, well-drained.
13. Gently fold in 1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping.
14. Once the cake is completely cool, carefully remove it from the pan using a flat knife.
15. Slice the cake horizontally into 3 even layers.
16. Place the bottom layer on a serving platter.
17. Spread one-third of the pineapple pudding mixture over the bottom layer.
18. Repeat with the remaining layers, ending with the filling on top.
19. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
20. Top with fresh berries just before serving!
