What are the clean ingredients in this cake?
A box cake mix made from clean ingredients helps to save time. Coconut sugar replaces cane sugar, and I recommend you be intentional when picking your pineapple to ensure there are no additives or sugar. A good way to avoid any additives is just to use freshly sliced pineapple.
