Best Royal Hawaiian Cake Recipes

ROYAL HAWAIIAN WEDDING CAKE

Steps:

• Mix together all cake ingredients for cake.
• Divide into (3) 8 or 9 inch greased and floured cake pans.
• Bake according to box directions.
• Cool cakes on wire racks while making frosting.
• While cakes are baking and cooling, soak the pineapple with the rum for about 30 minutes.
• Mix in pudding and let sit until in a gelled state.
• Whip the two pints of heavy whipping cream (put metal mixing bowl in freezer along with beaters before whipping. For best results-I also put pints into freezer for several minutes before whipping too.)
• Whip cream until firm-watch it so it doesn't become butter-that's going too far!
• Carefully fold the pudding mixture into the whipped cream.
• Toast the coconut in oven til lightly browned.
• Alternate layers of cake with thick layers of whipped cream.
• Garnish with toasted coconut and cover with plastic wrap.
• Refrigerate until the next day. (I have found that if you do not wait and let these flavors meld for at least 8 hours, you end up taking a bite of cake and frosting that has pieces of pineapple loaded with rum, and just doesn't taste good!).
