    TOPPING: Drain pineapple, reserving half the juices. Combine remaining with 2c. sugar and 2 tbs. water in small pot, cook until thickened. Pour slowly over stiffly beaten egg whites. Sprinkle reserved juice over cake layers to soften, distributing pulp over bottom layer. Add frosting, place top layer over, repeat.
