How to Make Pineapple Cake With Raspberry Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, prepare your favorite pineapple cake mix according to package directions, but substitute 3 large egg whites for the eggs and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, for the oil.
  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. While the cake is baking, prepare the raspberry sauce:
  5. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/2 cup cold water until smooth.
  6. Add 2 cups fresh raspberries to the saucepan.
  7. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens (about 2 minutes).
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/4 cup pineapple juice.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the sauce to cool and thicken.
  10. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, pour 1 (20 ounce) can of crushed pineapple (drained) evenly over the warm cake.
  11. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
  12. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, prepare one 3.4 ounce box instant lemon pudding mix according to package directions.
  13. Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the pudding.
  14. Gently fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping until combined.
  15. Let the frosting sit for 10 minutes to slightly thicken.
  16. Once the cake is completely cool, frost the top with the lemon pudding frosting.
  17. Drizzle the chilled raspberry sauce over the frosted cake.
  18. Garnish with sliced almonds (optional).
