by

Here’s a delicious recipe for Hawaiian Wedding Cake with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting:

Ingredients:

For the cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream

For garnish:

  • Sweetened shredded coconut
  • Maraschino cherries

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Make the cake batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking soda. Add the eggs, crushed pineapple (with juice), chopped nuts, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  3. Bake the cake: Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
  4. Make the frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
  5. In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
  6. Frost the cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the whipped cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the cake.
  7. Garnish the cake: Sprinkle the top of the frosted cake with sweetened shredded coconut and place maraschino cherries on top for decoration.
  8. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the Hawaiian Wedding Cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the frosting to set. Slice and serve the cake chilled. Enjoy!
