Pina Colada Cake

After the boys had my Black Bean Bagel Sandwiches, I also provided them with dessert! It's hard to find an actually healthy, good tasting dessert that isn't fruit and yogurt. And that's not really dessert is it? NO! So I hunted around for a decently easy and quite tasty one..and then I found it....PINA COLADA CAKE! Whoa...you mean a pina colada turned into a cake? SIGN ME UP!!!! So I wrote down the recipe, and ran to the store. It took me 2 dishes (1 to cook, 1 to bake), and 1 mixing spoon to make it. Oh yeah, and like 25 min from start to pulling out of the oven. So here goes....

<---We already ate some before I remembered to snap a pic.









<--- Look how light and fluffy it is!






I kept the coconut sprinkles off of it because the guys aren't fans of coconut. But I put some on mine and I loved it! It's easiest the most simple cake I have EVER made! So if you are inviting me to some kind of potluck in the near future - this is probably what I'll be bringing. I brought in a piece to a co-worker (who doesn't even like pineapple) and she loved it! This one is DEF going into my box of keepers - and probably will be my dessert of choice when I get back into hardcore marathon training. After all - it IS healthy (I even used low-fat cool whip!) and will still calm my perma-sweet tooth.

Enjoy! - apes -
