HAWAIIAN HONEYMOON CAKE



Hawaiian Honeymoon Cake image

This recipe came about as I searched for a recipe for my future sister-in-law's Hawaiian-themed bridal shower. I found several recipes that sounded good, but not quite right, so I combined and modified them to make this one. This is a very moist cake that is somewhat Twinkie-like in flavor (if Twinkies had coconut!). The fruit is pulverized and while it adds to the flavor of the cake, you really can't pinpoint that there's fruit in it. I winged the frosting recipe, and it came out good. This makes a thick and custardy frosting, and the fruit is more perceptable here. If you prefer a lighter and fluffier frosting, add in more Cool Whip. The unflavored gelatin keeps the frosting firmer longer.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box yellow cake mix with pudding
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, divided
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, divided
1 1/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut, divided
1/2 cup vegetable oil

  • Cool thoroughly.
  • FROSTING: Cream together cream cheese, pudding mix, gelatin, the remaining fruit, and 1/4 cup coconut until well mixed and somewhat smooth (it will still have some lumps due to the fruit and coconut).
