Family Gathering Cake
Submitted by Cheryl G. of Dickson, TN, Cake Club Member
Recipe Courtesy of www.CakeClubRecipes.comI have a cake recipe that is a hit, especially during the summer months. It is a hit anytime and anywhere. I have to make this cake for every family gathering. My husband is a member of the Mason Lodge and they request this cake for all their functions. The special thing about this cake is that it is low in sugar. You will like this cake.
Ingredients:
1 lemon cake mix
1 can crushed pineapple with juice
3/4 c. Splenda® or Equal®
Large box sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
2 c. Fresca® (a Coke® product)
2/3 c. powdered milk
Large container Sugar-Free Cool Whip®
1 package frozen coconut
Directions:
Prepare the cake according to the package directions, baking it in a 9x13-inch pan. Once out of the oven, I take a wooden spoon handle and poke holes in the cake.
In a saucepan, mix the pineapple and Splenda®. Heat until boiling, stirring frequently. Boil for 4 minutes. Immediately pour over the cake so the hot juice will go down into the spoon holes. Once the pineapple mixture has cooled, mix the vanilla pudding mix, Fresca® and powdered milk with a mixer. Pour this mixture over the top of the cake (be sure the cake is cooled). Top the pudding mixture with the Cool Whip®. Sprinkle the coconut on top of the Cool Whip®. You can use food coloring to color the coconut or sprinkle colored sugar on top of the coconut or use your own special decoration specialty.
