Categories     dessert

Time 9h15m

Yield 50 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

3 cups (6 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into cubes, softened, plus more for greasing the pans
4 cups milk, at room temperature
4 teaspoons vanilla
24 large egg whites, at room temperature
9 cups cake flour
7 cups granulated sugar
5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
4 teaspoons kosher salt
12 ounces cream of coconut
1/2 cup white rum
12 cups powdered sugar
4 cups (8 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup passionfruit puree
Large pinch of kosher salt
6 cups powdered sugar
4 cups (8 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup heavy cream
Large pinch of kosher salt
Cornstarch, for dusting
8 ounces prepared gum paste
Assorted pink, purple and yellow gel food colors
Vodka, for mixing

Steps:

  • For the butter cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease three 12-inch round cake pans, three 8-inch round cake pans and three 6-inch round cake pans with butter and line with parchment. Set aside.
  • In 2 batches, using half of the ingredients for each batch (see Cook's Note), whisk together the milk, vanilla and egg whites in a bowl and set aside. Mix the cake flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in the bowl of stand mixer. Add the butter cubes and continue beating on low for 1 to 2 minutes. Add about half of the milk mixture and beat at medium speed for 1 1/2 minutes. Add the remaining milk mixture and beat for about 1 minute.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake until the cakes are light golden brown and bounce back when lightly pressed in the center, 12 to 15 minutes for the 6-inch pans, 15 to 20 minutes for the 8-inch pans and 25 to 30 minutes for the 12-inch pans. Let the cakes cool for about 5 minutes in the pans, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely before assembling, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • For the coconut-rum syrup: Combine the cream of coconut and rum in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • For the passionfruit buttercream: Cream together the powdered sugar, butter, passionfruit puree and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Continue beating until thick and creamy.
  • For the American buttercream: Cream together the powdered sugar, butter, cream cheese, heavy cream and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Continue beating until thick and creamy.
  • For the gum paste flowers: Lightly sprinkle cornstarch on a wood board and roll the gum paste out very thinly. Using a flower cutter, cut out flower shapes. Place the flowers in the cups of a mini muffin tin that has been lightly dusted with cornstarch. Let dry for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Mix each gel food color with about 1 tablespoon of vodka until the desired color is achieved. Paint the dry flowers with the food-coloring paint, then let dry completely.
  • Cake Assembly:
  • For the 12-inch tier: Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the top of one 12-inch layer with the coconut-rum syrup. Spread the first layer with enough passionfruit buttercream to achieve a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Top with a second cake layer and repeat with the coconut-rum syrup and passionfruit buttercream. Top with the third layer and brush with the syrup. Stabilize the tier with straws or dowels. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or longer if possible.
  • For the 8-inch tier: Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the top of one 8-inch layer with the coconut-rum syrup. Spread the first layer with enough passionfruit buttercream to achieve a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Top with a second cake layer and repeat with the coconut-rum syrup and passionfruit buttercream. Top with the third layer and brush with the syrup. Stabilize the tier with straws or dowels. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or longer if possible.
  • For the 6-inch tier: Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the top of one 6-inch layer with the coconut-rum syrup. Spread the first layer with enough passionfruit buttercream to achieve a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Top with a second cake layer and repeat with the coconut-rum syrup and passionfruit buttercream. Top with the third layer and brush with the syrup. Stabilize the tier with straws or dowels. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or longer if possible.
  • Once the cakes are chilled, crumb-coat each tier with the American buttercream frosting. Chill each tier for at least 1 hour. After chilling, apply a final coating of the American buttercream frosting using a decorative technique or by completely smoothing the top and sides of the cakes. Chill the completely frosted tiers again.
  • Place the 12-inch tier on a 14-inch cake drum. Gently place and center the 8-inch tier on top of the 12-inch tier. Repeat with the 6-inch tier. Using more buttercream placed in a pastry bag with a round number 10 tip, pipe a decorative bead border along the bottom of each tier.
  • Once the cake is assembled, use buttercream frosting to affix the gum paste flowers to the cake in a cascading arrangement (or as desired).

ROYAL HAWAIIAN WEDDING CAKE



Royal Hawaiian Wedding Cake image

Got this recipe off the internet when I did a Luau for my daughter's birthday. Moist and delicious--hands down the best cake I have ever had. Wow! Very impressive looking as well.

Provided by Susan K

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 slice, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1.5 (18 ounce) boxes butter recipe cake mix
1/4 cup light rum
6 ounces instant vanilla pudding
1 1/2 cups water
4 large eggs
1/4 cup canola oil
6 ounces crushed pineapple in juice
4 ounces instant vanilla pudding
1/4 cup light rum
2 pints whipping cream, whipped
coconut (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Mix together all cake ingredients for cake.
  • Divide into (3) 8 or 9 inch greased and floured cake pans.
  • Bake according to box directions.
  • Cool cakes on wire racks while making frosting.
  • While cakes are baking and cooling, soak the pineapple with the rum for about 30 minutes.
  • Mix in pudding and let sit until in a gelled state.
  • Whip the two pints of heavy whipping cream (put metal mixing bowl in freezer along with beaters before whipping. For best results-I also put pints into freezer for several minutes before whipping too.)
  • Whip cream until firm-watch it so it doesn't become butter-that's going too far!
  • Carefully fold the pudding mixture into the whipped cream.
  • Toast the coconut in oven til lightly browned.
  • Alternate layers of cake with thick layers of whipped cream.
  • Garnish with toasted coconut and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate until the next day. (I have found that if you do not wait and let these flavors meld for at least 8 hours, you end up taking a bite of cake and frosting that has pieces of pineapple loaded with rum, and just doesn't taste good!).

Tips:

  • Before starting, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the butter and eggs, to ensure proper emulsification and a smooth batter.
  • Use high-quality ingredients, particularly the chocolate, vanilla extract, and nuts. The better the ingredients, the more delicious your cake will be.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a airier, more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
  • Use a toothpick to check if the cake is done. Insert the toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian wedding cake is a delicious and beautiful cake that is perfect for any special occasion. With its moist layers of chocolate and vanilla cake, creamy frosting, and toasted coconut flakes, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. If you are looking for a showstopping dessert, give this Hawaiian wedding cake a try.
