Ingredients

FOR THE CAKES

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sifted cake flour (not self-rising)

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

7 large egg whites

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

-------------------------------------------

FOR THE PINEAPPLE SLICES

-------------------------------------------

2 1/4 pounds fresh pineapple, peeled thinly

-------------------------------------------

FOR THE CURD

-------------------------------------------

7 large egg yolks

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

1/2 cup fresh pineapple juice

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

remaining curd on the side

30 minute cool and 30 minute chill...not added

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

------------------------------------------

Prepare the cakes:

------------------------------------------

Whisk together flour and allspice in a bowl; set aside.

Put egg whites and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute.

Add cream of tartar.

Beat on high speed until mixture is stiff and glossy and has tripled in volume, about 3 minutes.

Transfer to a large bowl.

Carefully fold in flour mixture in 3 additions.

Spoon batter into plastic bag; snip off a corner of the bag.

Squeeze batter into 6 mini angel-food-cake pans (about 4 inches in diameter and 2 1/4 inches high), dividing evenly. (Alternatively, spread batter into a 10-inch angel-food-cake pan.)

Bake until golden and cakes spring back when touched, about 30 minutes (for 10-inch cake, bake about 40 minutes).

Let cool 30 minutes on a wire rack.

Gently loosen cakes with a thin knife or the tip of a wooden skewer; unmold.

Let cool completely.

Cakes can be stored in an airtight container up to 1 day.

Reduce oven to 200 degrees.

---------------------------------------

Prepare the pineapple slices:

---------------------------------------

Spread pineapple rounds on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat.

Cook, flipping once, until dried, about 2 hours.

Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.

Dried pineapple slices can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days.

----------------------------------------

Prepare the curd:

----------------------------------------

Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and salt in a large heatproof bowl until smooth.

Gradually whisk in pineapple and lemon juices.

Set bowl over a pan of simmering water; whisk until thick, about 8 minutes.

Remove from heat; whisk in butter until smooth.

Cover with plastic, pressing wrap directly on surface to prevent a skin from forming.

Refrigerate curd 1 hour (up to overnight).

To serve, invert cakes onto plates.

Drizzle curd over each cake, and top with a dried pineapple slice. Serve remaining curd on side.
