This is my friend Shirley's favorite recipe to make for our pot-luck parties we had for my ceramic classes- we always looked forward to her cake at every pot-luck.

How To Make pineapple meringue cake

  • 1
    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.
