Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line an 11x17" (12 cup) rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with non-stick spray (if you're having a hard time getting the parchment to stay, spray the pan first and then add the parchment on top, pressing it into the corners).

Prepare angel food cake batter according to package directions. Spread into prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, until light golden brown on top. It will rise and may become higher than the sides of the pan, but I've never had it go over in the oven. If you use the right size of pan, it should not go over.

Lay a clean lint-free kitchen towel flat and sprinkle with 1/4 cup powdered sugar. When the cake comes out of the oven, turn it out onto the towel and wrap it up tightly, with the towel inside, starting at the short end. Set aside to cool completely (you can pop it in the freezer for an hour or the fridge for a few hours if you're impatient).

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the cream and beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form -- this can take up 5-8 minutes so be patient.

Add the 3/4 cup powdered sugar and vanilla and continue beating on high speed until stiff peaks form.

Divide the whipped cream in half using two separate bowls. To one half, add the crushed pineapple and stir just to combine.

Unroll the cooled cake and spread the pineapple mixture over top, leaving 1/2" around the edge. Roll up carefully starting at the short end (no towel this time!).

Spread the remaining whipped cream over the rolled cake and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or until ready to serve. Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator up to 2 days
