PINEAPPLE ICEBOX CAKE



Pineapple Icebox Cake image

Here is a popular dessert in my family. It comes from Naparima Girls' High School cook book. The original calls for almonds which I found to be rather bland. I loved it with brazil nuts. I have also substituted walnuts as it's not everyday I come by brazil nuts. Use which ever are your favourite. The next time I make this I plan to use caramelized pecans.

Time P1DT20m

Yield 1 cake, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces butter
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
4 eggs (separated)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups pineapple slices (diced)
1 cup brazil nut (chopped)
1 sponge cake, already baked (I use a store bought, lemon sponge, box cake. I think the lemon gives a better flavour than a plain)
2 cups whipped cream

Steps:

  • Cut the cake into one inch thick slices.
  • Cream butter and icing sugar until fluffy.
  • Add egg yolks one at a time, beating after each addition and scraping the sides.
  • Add vanilla, pineapple and brazil nuts.
  • Beat egg whites until stiff but moist and fold into mixture gently.
  • Place a layer of cake in a dish, then a layer of pineapple-butter mixture; continue to layer until all the cake and mixture are used up, ending with the pineapple mixture.
  • Cover with foil and freeze for 24 hours.
  • When ready to use take out and thaw for a 10 minutes. Garnish with whipped cream, a maraschino cherry and sprig of mint,or candied orange pieces -- whatever suits you.
  • Variation: drained peaches or ripe mangoes could be substituted for the pineapple. I have only ever made it with pineapple.

PINEAPPLE COCONUT DREAM ICEBOX CAKE



Pineapple Coconut Dream IceBox Cake image

This cake was inspired by my grandmother. She made a similar cake but only with pineapple, yellow cake mix, and a Jiffy frosting she mixed with the pineapple juice. She always said she had to let it sit for several days for the pineapple juice to absorb into the cake properly. I never made the one she did, but altered the recipe...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 box coconut supreme cake mix
oil (by box instuctions)
eggs (by box intructions)
water (by box instuctions)
1 can(s) coconut supreme icing (you may want to double)
1 container of cool whip (you may want to double)
1 can(s) crushed pineapple (reserve juice)
shredded coconut (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare cake mix as instructed by box. Bake and cool completely. While cake is cooling, In a medium bowl, mix icing, drained pineapple, and cool whip together to make Icing. Mix lightly... Make sure pineapple isn't to wet or icing might run. You can always add back reserved pineapple juice to moisten if it's to stiff. Set in refrigerator to cool until cake is ready. When cakes have completely cooled you can either make it a 2 layer or cut them in half to make a four layer cake as I do. Put first layer on cake stand and spoon on reserved pineapple juice, making sure to stay away from the edges because we still have to ice the cake. Put only enough to moisten the layer, don't soak it!!! Take your premade icing from fridge and frost first layer. Make sure you save enough for each additional layer or you can double the icing recipe just in case or if you like extra icing. Continue with each additional layer, moistening it with juice, and then icing.*** Sprinkle with shredded coconut if desired. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least three days. I have ate it right after it was made and I tasted the eggs too much, so wait! It will be worth it... Plus three days gives it enough time to soak up all the juices and makes a wonderfully moist cake with a light and not to sweet icing. Keep it refrigerated...

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapple. The riper the pineapple, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the pineapple. This will help you get clean, even slices.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Chill the cake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
  • Serve the cake with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add an extra touch of sweetness and richness.

Conclusion:

Pineapple icebox cake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. Whether you like your cake sweet or tart, with or without nuts, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give pineapple icebox cake a try.
