This is a wonderful, moist cake that I get many requests for and has been a hit every time and everywhere I have served it. Just make sure that pineapple is drained completely before adding it to filling mixture and that cakes are cooled completely before filling to avoid soggy cake. *Be sure to add cooling time for cake...

Tips:

  • To achieve the vibrant sunset colors, use high-quality food coloring gels or pastes. Liquid food coloring may not provide the same intensity of color.
  • Make sure the cake layers are completely cooled before assembling the cake. Otherwise, the frosting may melt and the cake may lose its shape.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to create the sunset design.
  • Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set and the flavors to meld.
  • For a fun twist, try adding a layer of crushed pineapple or chopped macadamia nuts between the cake layers.
