AMBROSIA CAKE image

Remember the old Ambrosia Cake recipe where you used a large crystal compote dish and layered fruit, puddings, creams, coconut, etc. and it took forever to make? I think it was popular for tupperware parties of the early 60s. Well, this cake recipe gives you the taste of that vintage cake without the fuss. No need for ice cream...

Poke holes in the top of the cake with something that will make an 1/8 to 1/4 inch hole. I use the handle of a wooden spoon, and pour pineapple mixture over it evenly.
