King Kamehameha Cake

By, Mom & Dad Heaps

Ingredients:

1 box yellow cake mix

1 box strawberry cake mix

2 bananas - sliced

1 lb fresh strawberries – sliced (frozen strawberries in syrup can be used but are a bit more messy)

1 lb fresh or frozen blueberries

1 lb fresh or frozen raspberries

2 small cans mandarin oranges - drained

Vanilla pudding (homemade is best)

1 pint whipped cream

Preparation:

Bake cakes according to package instructions;  each cake mix can be baked in one 12” circle pan or one 9x13 pan.  After baking, cool and wrap completely in plastic wrap and freeze solid.  When ready to assemble cakes, cut each layer in half horizontally, then proceed as follows

Layer ingredients as follows:

1-     bottom cake layer  (strawberry)

2-     pipe outside edge of cake with stiff whipped cream to form barrier

3-     inside of cream, spread with thin layer of vanilla pudding

4-     top with ¼ of each fruit; bananas, strawberries, blueberries, mandarin oranges, raspberries

5-     cover with thin layer of whipped cream

6-     second cake layer  (yellow)

7-     repeat steps 2-5

8-     third cake layer  (strawberry)

9-     repeat steps 2-5

10-  top cake layer  (yellow)

11-  repeat steps 2-4, arranging fruits in decorative pattern

12-  pipe with individual dollops of whipped cream to form a design to your liking

Notes: 

-Any kind of fruit can be used depending on your individual taste, ie;  sliced pears, kiwi, etc.

-Rather than spreading whipping cream on each layer, it is easier to pipe it on placing individual dollops

  approximately 1” apart over each layer
