  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 15 ounces crushed pineapple undrained
  • 1 cup nuts chopped, optional
  • 8 ounces whipped topping

  • Remove from stove and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Tear the angel food cake into 1" pieces and layer them in the bottom of a 9x13 dish.
  • Pour the melted marshmallows over the top of the pieces of angel food cake. Using a spatula, pat the marshmallow coated angel food cake down to sort of form a crust.
  • Layer the crushed pineapple over the top of the marshmallow coated angel food cake.
  • Layer the nuts over the pineapple.
  • Spread the whipped topping evenly across the top.
  • Sprinkle the coconut over the top of the entire cake.
  • Chill for at least 2 hours.
