Aloha Cake Ideas

A Coconut Pineapple cake is the perfect cake for an Aloha party. Most people realize that this party involves much more than dancing and games, therefore having a great cake such as a Coconut Pineapple cake will only add to the celebration. Making this cake is rather simple. Prepare the cake using a white cake mix and baking it in two round pans. Then, add a homemade touch by making your own pineapple filling and rum syrup.

To make a pineapple filling for your Aloha cake combine in a bowl the following ingredients: 1 can of crushed pineapples with juice, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon or cornstarch and 1 small teaspoon of lemon juice. Once these items are in the bowl put on the stove and bring to a bowl (stirring constantly) after it boils reduce the heat and cook for approximately four minutes. Once this is completed, make the rum syrup. To make the rum syrup combine ¼ cup of sugar, 3 to 4 tablespoons of light rum along with 2/3 cup of water in a pan. Bring this mixture to a boil stirring constantly. Once it has bowled remove from heat and it is ready to use.

Finally, to complete this cake put it together by placing one layer of the white cake on a cake plate and brush it with the rum syrup. Next, you will need to pour approximately half of the pineapple filling on the cake and spread it over the top of the cake. Add the next layer and do the same procedure. After this has been completed ice the entire cake with buttercream icing and sprinkle the entire cake with coconut. This will make a cake that your Aloha party guests will remember for years to come.
