Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, in juice, undrained
1 cup whipped topping
1 cup fresh berries
1 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 large egg whites, cold
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Have ready ungreased 9 or 10 inch tube pan.
Sift together flour, 3/4 cups sugar and salt.
In a large bowl, beat on low speed for 1 minute the egg whites, water, lemon juice, cream of tartar, and vanilla.
Increase mixer speed to medium and beat until the mixture increases in volume 4 1/2 to 5 times and resembles a bowl of soft foam, about 1 1/2 to 3 minutes.
Gradually beat in 1 tbsp at a time (on medium speed) 3/4 cup sugar for 2-3 minutes. Do not beat until stiff.
When all sugar has been added, the foam will be creamy white. Slowly fold in flour with a rubber spatula, do not stir or mix.
Pour batter into pan and tilt or spread to level the top.
Bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool upside down for at least 1 1/2 hours.
To unmold, insert a flat knife around the outside and inside of tube.
While cake is cooling, mix dry pudding mix and pineapple in medium bowl. Gently fold in whipped topping.
Cut cake horizontally into 3 layers.
Place bottom layer on serving platter; top with 1/3 of the pudding mixture, repeat with next two layers, ending with filling on top.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Top with berries just before serving!
