Directions
Hawaiian Honeymoon Cake, 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 , I’ve served this cake twice now, and both times was told it was the best cake they had ever had In my small town, I couldn’t find cheesecake pudding or unflavored gelatin used vanilla pudding instead and left out the gelatin, and it still turned out great , Dear KBurie- This recipe was amazing, accurate, easy to make-LIGHT and FLUFFY- it was a HIT at my lunch party Id like to say thank you-and will look forward to trying out some more of your dessert recipes- thanks-resa
