Ingredients

Cake

4 egg whites

2cups, plus 2 tablespoons sugar

½ Cup shortening

1 ¾ Cups sifted cake flour

2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder

¾ teaspoon salt

2/3 Cup minus 1 Tbl milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 eggs

¼ cup slivered almonds

Pineapple filling (Make first and chill completely)

¼ C sugar

1 1/2 Tbl flour

dash of salt

2 egg yolks, beaten

2/3 C milk

1 Tbl butter

1 small can crushed pineapple

Use a double boiler or a pan over boiling water

Mix dry ingredients, stir in egg yolk, cook until thickened

Stir in butter and pineapple

Chill completely

Directions

Beat eggs whites until foamy. Gradually add 1 Cup sugar beating until stiff. Set Meringue aside.

Cream shortening lightly.

Sift in remaining 1 Cup, 2 Tbl sugar, the flour, salt and baking powder.

Add milk and vanilla; mix until flour is dampened.

Beat for 2 minutes at low speed.

Add eggs and beat 1 minute longer.

Pour into pans, spread meringue on batter and sprinkle with nuts.

Bake about 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean

Cool 5 minutes, run sharp knife around edges

Turn out on rack and remove wax paper

Quickly invert onto another rack

The meringue will crack, just try not to pick off pieces off and eat them!

Cool completely, spread filling in between layers (Good idea to secure layers with something like a broken off wooden skewer before spreading filling)

Frost sides with whipped cream ( stabilized whipped cream is better)

Stabilized Whipped Cream

1 C heavy cream

1 tsp Knox gelatin

1Tbl cold water

2 Tbl confectioner’s sugar

½ tsp vanilla or any other flavor

Soften gelatin in cold water, let sit 5 minutes

Heat gently until gelatin is dissolved

Add to cream blending only to combine, not whip.

Chill in refrigerator at least one hour. Whip cream and add confectioners’ sugar and vanilla, whip until cream holds its shape.

The cream will stiffen further upon refrigeration.

Use for cream puffs or cakes.

Refrigerate

Remember skewers when serving

This is a winner of course...The only problem as you mentioned is in slicing the cake...What about chocolate ganache between layers?? Thanks for sharing Pat.
