WEIGHT WATCHERS PINEAPPLE ANGEL FOOD CAKE RECIPE NOTES

Be sure to use the 1-step angel food cake mix, like the one from Betty Crocker, that says, “just add water.”

And you’ll want a 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple in juice (not heavy syrup).

I’ve only ever made it in a 9×13-inch pan. I’ve read elsewhere that you can also use a tube pan or cupcake pan, but I’ve never tried it.

One reader tried cupcakes and left a comment that it didn’t work. So, I’d suggest sticking with a 9×13-pan unless you are feeling adventurous and willing to take a risk.

In the AllRecipes video below, they add 1/2 cup shredded coconut and 1/2 teaspoon rum extract to the batter for a tropical twist, a variation I intend to try next time I make this easy, delicious, satisfying cake.

And a little dollop of light whipped cream or topping never hurts.

Danielle French was planning for the happiest day of her life, but was absolutely dreading looking for a wedding dress.

After putting on weight over the last few years, Danielle couldn’t fit into any of her old clothes and didn’t want to hate every wedding dress she tried on.

It was then Danielle made a change and slimmed down over 70 pounds in one year, which she credits to hard work and Instagram!

“After getting engaged I continued to put on lots of weight until March 2015 when I got to my biggest and could barely fit in any of my clothes. I really didn’t want to be a big bride and look at my wedding photos and hate what I saw. I wanted to lose weight a year before I got married so I could go and try wedding dresses on without hating everything I tried on.”

With their wedding date set for November 2016, Danielle, tired of trying every diet under the sun, seen that ‘Slimming World’ was one of the most popular on Instagram and decided to see if it would work for her too.

“I had been unhappy for so long about my weight and tried so many diets that I could never stick too. I started looking on Instagram at weight loss accounts and there were so many inspiring girls that had lost weight. I decided I would give it a go as it was one of the only diets I hadn’t tried. I joined online and created an Instagram account to post about my weight loss journey to keep me motivated.”

Using Instagram as a weight loss tool, Danielle looked through weight loss and fitness accounts for daily motivation and other Slimming World pages for advice and weight loss meals.

It took Danielle under a year to hit her fitness goals, losing 70 pounds and walking down the aisle at her ideal size. The weight loss has changed her life in more ways than she could have imagined.

“Losing the weight has changed my life in so many more ways than I could have ever imagined. Before losing the weight I hated going out with my friends because I felt so self-conscious and awful in everything I wore. I lived in leggings and baggy tops to hide the fact I had put on weight. I was also really unfit and got out of breath really easily whenever I walked more than half a mile. I suffer from IBS and since losing the weight and eating a much healthier balanced diet means I hardly ever get symptoms.”

As well as the numerous health benefits, Danielle also fell in love with a few passions that she lost touch with when she at her heaviest.

“I have gained my love for shopping and fashion again. I don’t feel like the fat one out of my friends anymore I love getting dressed up and going out. I can now walk in to a shop, try things on and like what I see. I hated shopping for clothes when I was bigger as I refused to buy bigger sizes.’

Danielle’s friends and family were all so proud of her transformation and she also credits her Instagram page and her followers for keeping her in check and accountable during her weight loss journey.

“They are all really proud of me and cant believe how much weight I have lost and how different I look now. But on top of following Slimming World I don’t think I could have done it without my Instagram food blogging page and the support I get from all my lovely followers.”
