Pineapple Icebox Cake

Recipe #190694 | 1 day | 20 min prep | add private note

Here is a popular dessert in my family. It comes from Naparima Girls' High School cook book. The original calls for almonds which I found to be rather bland. I loved it with brazil nuts. I have also substituted walnuts as it's not everyday I come by brazil nuts. Use which ever are your favourite. The next time I make this I plan to use caramelized pecans.

SERVES 8 , 1 cake (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut the cake into one inch thick slices.
  2. 2
    Cream butter and icing sugar until fluffy.
  3. 3
    Add egg yolks one at a time, beating after each addition and scraping the sides.
  4. 4
    Add vanilla, pineapple and brazil nuts.
  5. 5
    Beat egg whites until stiff but moist and fold into mixture gently.
  6. 6
    Place a layer of cake in a dish, then a layer of pineapple-butter mixture; continue to layer until all the cake and mixture are used up, ending with the pineapple mixture.
  7. 7
    Cover with foil and freeze for 24 hours.
  8. 8
    When ready to use take out and thaw for a 10 minutes. Garnish with whipped cream, a maraschino cherry and sprig of mint,or candied orange pieces -- whatever suits you.
  9. 9
    Variation: drained peaches or ripe mangoes could be substituted for the pineapple. I have only ever made it with pineapple.

    It's plain, it's simple, it's so easy to make! And it tastes extremely good! I was disappointed in the looks of the finished cake, but that was entirely my fault, since I can't make a 1" slice through anything like a cake [although I figured out later how to do just that: Put the cake inside a round cake pan & carefully slice horizontally across the top of the pan! Result = perfect slices every time!] Anyway, the raves on this cake were OUTSTANDING, & the entire thing was consumed is under 20 minutes by 8 people [half of whom started out with 'just a sliver' of a piece, 'just a taste!' Thanks for the recipe ~ It's one I intend to make often!

    I liked this cake a lot. It's not too sweet. And it's easy because there's no baking if you use a store-bought angel food cake. I made pineapple. My next one will be mango. I sliced and served as many portions as was needed from the frozen cake and returned the rest of the cake to the freezer. It's there for future desserts; I'll always have a delicious cake ready!
