How to Make Pineapple Meringue Cake
- Cake:
Cream shortening; add the sugar and cream this well; then add the egg yolks.
Sift dry ingredients together, then add alternately with a mixture of the milk and lemon extract. Pour this blended cake batter in 2 greased layer cake pans.(I cut circles of parchment paper in bottom of pans and then spray the paper before pouring in batter).

Topping:
Beat the egg whites and salt until stiff. Add sugar and lemon extract. Fold in the nuts. Pour this over the unbaked layers and bake at 350^ for 30 minutes. Cool well.

Pineapple Filling:
Fold dry pudding mix and crushed pineapple with the juice into the Cool Whip. Spread between layers and outside of cake, but not the top- unless you want to,of course.
