Your guests may think this dessert is too pretty to eat, but the flavorful cake, fluffy frosting and fun fruit filling will tempt them into changing their minds. A generous slice is a delightful end to any meal. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
4 egg whites |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2-1/4 cups cake flour |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup milk |
filling/topping: |
2 envelopes whipped topping mix (dream whip) |
2/3 cup milk |
1 cup vanilla or white chips, melted |
1/4 cup strawberry jam |
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, well drained |
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg whites, two at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk.
2. Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
3. In a bowl, beat topping mix and milk on high speed for 4 minutes or until thickened. Combine melted chips and jam; gradually beat into topping. Set aside 1 cup for filling. Cover and chill remaining mixture for 20 minutes or until it reaches spreading consistency.
4. Add pineapple and strawberries to reserved filling. Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with fruit mixture. Top with remaining cake layer. Frost top and sides of cake with chilled topping. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 10-12 servings.
