PINEAPPLE FLAVOR CAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, grease and flour 3 (8 inch) round pans and place a circle of waxed or parchment paper in the bottom of each pan. Cakes with fruit have a tendency to stick
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt for at least 30 seconds to blend.
• In another bowl, add the egg whites, crushed pineapple +juice, milk, vanilla and vegetable oil. Blend with a fork
• In the bowl of your mixer add the butter and beat at medium speed until soft and smooth. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until lightened in color and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes, longer if using a hand mixer.
• Alternately add the flour mixture and the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients (3 additions of dry and 2 of wet). Beat on low to medium speed until the ingredients are mixed in. Do not mix above medium speed or over mix. 
• Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, check at 18 minutes. When a toothpick pulls out clean or with just a few crumbs attached, the cake is done.
• Cool the cakes on a cooling rack for 5 minutes then turn out. Makes 7 1/2 cups batter
• This cake recipe can be used for cupcakes also and the layers are sturdy enough for fondant.
• Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium heat. When the mixture begins to boil, stir constantly until it begins to thicken, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
• Keep in mind that it will thicken even more as it cools. Cool completely in refrigerator before using.
• Add the butter to the mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
• Add the cream cheese that has been cut into small to medium size pieces, beating with the butter until well blended and smooth.
• Add the coconut and vanilla extracts
• Slowly add the powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Do not beat above medium speed or for too long. The longer you beat the softer the frosting becomes. If it becomes too soft to pipe, just refrigerate for a short while.
• Use the frosting while it is still chilled. If it becomes too soft, refrigerate until it firms up a bit or put in the freezer for 5 minutes or so to return to a good piping consistency.
