How To Make ambrosia cake
-
1PINEAPPLE/ORANGE FILLING: In a medium saucepan, add pineapple & juice, orange juice & sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened, about 20 - 25 minutes.
-
2Pour filling into a bowl & cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate & let cool at least 1 hour. Stir before using it.
-
3Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place rack in center of oven. Spray 3 9" round cake pans with bakers joy. Set aside.
-
4In stand mixer, add cake mix, pudding, water, oil & eggs. Blend on low for 1 minute. Scrape down sides & increase speed to medium for 2 minutes more. Fold in coconut until well combined. Divide batter into pans evenly. NOTE: If your oven is not large enough to fit all 3 pans on same oven rack; then place 2 pans on center rack & place the 3rd in center highest rack.
-
5Bake until cakes spring back when lightly touched with finger, about 18 - 20 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE the layer on highest oven rack - you may want to rotate 1/2 way through. Let cakes cool on wire racks 10 minutes. Then invert out of pans & let cool another 30 minutes.
-
6Meanwhile, prepare frosting.
-
7MARSHMALLOW FROSTING: In a medium saucepan, add sugar, water & egg whites. Cook over low ehat, beating continuously with electric hand mixer on high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 - 3 minutes.
-
8Remove pan from heat; add marshmallow creme & beat with mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, another 2 minutes more. Use at once.
-
9Place 1 cake layer on serving platter. Spread top of the cake with 1/2 the pineapple/orange filling, spreading to 1" from edge of cake. Place 2nd cake layer on top of filling. Spread remaining filling on top spreading to 1" from edge of 2nd cake. Top with 3rd layer cake & spread frosting on top & sides of cake. Garnish with coconut, pressing it around sides & top of cake.
