How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a 23cm cake pan and set aside.
  • Make cake mix as directed, let cool and split in three layers.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter and powder sugar until fluffy, add the cream and vanilla extract and beat again. Set aside.
  • Place the first cake layer on your working surface and brush it with little of the pineapples juice, spread 2 tbsp of the butter cream over the cake layer and sprinkle about 2- 2 ½ pineapples rings over the butter cream. Use a sharp knife and press over each
  • piece slightly. Cover with the second cake layer, repeat the same previous steps. Finish with the third cake layer and spread with butter cream only. Use the rest of the butter cream to frost the sides of the cake. Sprinkle the coconut over the top and sides and decorate the top with the roasted Almonds. Chill for 2-3 hours.

    I agree with you Ahmed, sometimes it's a great idea to use cake mixes, because you can concentrate in the rest of the cake making it a little bit easier, this post is not only intresting in the way you combine textures and color, it looks delicious!

    Awesome combo Ahmed! Love the flavor combination here. Great taste, wish I had it made now. I usually ask for something like this or white chocolate/raspberry for my birthday cake. I'll tell my husband to give you a call in May! Maybe you could ship it overnight?!
    Thanks so much,
    Denise
