Time 40m

Yield 1 angel food cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

20 ounces crushed pineapple, un-drained
1 lime, juice of
1 lb angel food cake mix
8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup limeade, from concentrate
powdered sugar (reviewer used 4 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon rum extract
2 -4 tablespoons rum (add more if you want) (optional)
8 ounces Cool Whip Lite (a little over 3 cups)
1/3 cup toasted shredded sweetened coconut
lime zest
mint leaf

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Spray a 13×9 inch metal pan with cooking spray.
  • If you use a Pyrex dish, reduce the heat to 325ºF.
  • You can also use a 15×10 inch pan, which is what Larry uses.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the pineapple, lime juice, rum, and angel food cake mix.
  • Pour the mixture into the pan and bake it using the following cook times - 18-24 minutes for a 15×10 inch pan or about 25 minutes for a 13×9 inch pan.
  • Let cool completely in pan.
  • In mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and limeade concentrate.
  • Check for sweetness.
  • Add sugar if you feel you need it - I used 4 tablespoons.
  • Beat in rum extract and rum, if using,, then fold in Cool Whip Lite.
  • Spread over cooled cake.
  • Sprinkle with coconut and lime zest.
  • Top each serving with mint leaves.
  • Larry says, "One last thing. It's fairly low fat. You could get away with using Cool Whip Free rather than Cool Whip Lite, but I personally would not trade out the low fat cream cheese for fat free because the texture would not be as smooth.".

I've never had a mojito cake before, but this one is delicious! I'll definitely be making it again.

This recipe is a waste of time. The cake is dense and flavorless, and the glaze is too sweet.

I've tried this recipe twice now and both times the cake has turned out dry. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I'm not a fan of mojitos, but I still enjoyed this cake. The glaze is a bit too strong for my taste, but the cake itself is delicious.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for someone who loves sweet desserts.

I tried Larry's Mojito Cake recipe last weekend and it was a huge hit! The cake was moist and flavorful, and the mojito glaze was the perfect finishing touch. I'll definitely be making this again.
