Angel Food Delightful -- Mexican Pizzas

Angel Food Delightful

(from a WW meeting)

1 15 oz can light cherry pie filling -- or -- 20 oz can crushed pineapple

1 box angel food cake mix (preferably 1 step)

Mix the pie filling (crushed pineapple) with the DRY angel food cake mix by hand. (If you use a mixer, it's quite messy!) Pour mixture into a 9" x 13" pan--DO NOT GREASE OR SPRAY. Follow box directions for baking, usually about 38-40 minutes.

When it comes out of the oven, turn it upside down, resting the pan on 4 objects of equal height, such as 4 cans of green chiles. Let it cool completely in this position. If you omit this step, the cake will fall.

*This recipe is one in which the basic bean mixture can be made and used at your leisure, one pizza at a time or mini pizzas for the whole family. It also is good as a dip.

Nutritional information is based on all information available to me at the time of publication. I now calculate points using the 2001 Weight Watchers information. Verify that your ingredients yield the same results. I usually choose to use light rather than nonfat products. Some items, such as cheddar, I use the normal product as noted, as my preference. Optional ingredients are not included in the calculation of calories or points.
