HAWAIIAN PASSIONFRUIT CHIFFON CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, placing oven rack in center of the oven.
• Prepare Lilikoi pudding before making cake.
• Place water, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan and heat to boiling over medium heat. Meanwhile, mix the water, juice, and cornstarch in a separate bowl to form a slurry.
• Add the slurry to the sugar mixture, stirring constantly. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and becomes more transparent; cook and stir for three more minutes.
• Remove the pudding from heat and add the butter, stirring until completely incorporated.
• Pour the mixture into another container, cover with plastic wrap and cool on the counter at least an hour, stirring occasionally. Place in refrigerator while the preparing the cake.
• Grease the 9" x 13" cake pan as directed on the cake mix, set aside.
• Beat separated, room temperature egg whites until stiff peaks form, mixing in the two tablespoons sugar. Set aside.
• Mix together the cake mix, oil, water, juice, egg yolks and 1/4 cup sugar per package directions. Stir in half of the egg whites, then gently fold in the rest of the egg whites until incorporated into the batter.
• Pour cake mix into prepared pan; bake as directed. Remove from oven when toothpick poked into the center of the cake comes out clean. Place cake on a rack to cool.
• Once the cake has cooled and the Lilikoi pudding has thickened to a spreadable consistency, pour the pudding over the top of the cooled cake and spread to an even layer.
• Cover the cake and place in the refrigerator until the pudding layer has completely set; usually a couple of hours.
• When ready to serve, beat the whipping cream until peaks form, adding powdered sugar to sweeten as desired. Serve the cake either "frosted" with the whip cream, or dolloped on individual slices of cake.
• NOTE: I use Duncan Hines regular cake mix, Not the butter recipe. I use Goya Passionfruit juice, available in the Ethnic frozen foods section of your grocery or Hispanic market.

GUAVA CHIFFON CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Prepare three 9-inch cake pans by lightly greasing them, dusting with flour, and shaking out the excess.
• Sift together the flour with 2/3 cups of sugar, the baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat together the oil, water, nectar, yolks, vanilla, and lemon zest until well combined. Pour the yolks into the flour, and mix until the batter is smooth, mix in food coloring until desired shade is reached. Beat together egg whites with the cream of tartar in a clean bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add the 1/2 cup of sugar, and beat until stiff. Gently fold whites into batter. Pour into prepared cake pans.
• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Run a metal spatula or small knife around the edges of the cake to loosen, and allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack.
