Tropical Coconut
For Delicious Tropical Dessert make a Hawaiian Fruit Cake or Tropical Angel Food Cake Dessert
Have dessert from the tropics with either of these delicious recipes. The Hawaiian Fruit Cake is a simple cake to make and is perfect for taking to church suppers, office pitch-ins, picnics, etc. It is also perfect for family meals. Quick, easy, yummy--that's a combination that is hard to beat. The Tropical Angel Food Cake Dessert uses a bakery angel food cake so it goes together quickly and easily. It needs to refrigerate overnight or all day so it is a perfect make-ahead dessert!
HAWAIIAN FRUIT CAKE
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs, well beaten
1 can (20-oz) crushed pineapple in juice
2 tbsp butter, softened
1 cup chopped macadamia (or other) nuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 13-inch baking pan; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together; add the butter and mix well. Mix the pineapple and egg together and add to the flour mixture along with the chopped nuts. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
TOPPING:
1 pkg (8-oz) cream cheese
1/4 lb butter, softened at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp lemon extract
2 cups powdered sugar
In a large mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and lemon extract. Gradually add the powdered sugar. Spread the frosting over the cake while the cake is still warm.
TROPICAL ANGEL FOOD CAKE DESSERT
1 (10-oz) angel food cake
1 container (12-oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 can flaked coconut, toasted
1 jar (6 or 7-oz)maraschino cherries, well drained and chopped
1 can (15-oz) can crushed pineapple
Break the angel food cake into bite-sized pieces. Arrange half of the cake pieces in the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch pan. Top with half of the undrained crushed pineapple and half the chopped cherries. Spread half of the whipped topping over the fruit; top with half the toasted coconut. Repeat the layers exactly as before, ending with the topping and coconut. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Enjoy!
