Hawaiian Wedding Cake

"I got this wonderful recipe from a cousin whose husband was Hawaiian," notes JoAnn Desmond from Madison Heights, Virginia. "I've changed it some to reduce the fat and calories, but it still tastes as rich as the original. It's very simple to make...and guests will love it. Enjoy!"

Sounds interesting but the link doesn't work for me...

Made this several hours ago and it's great. Fragrance in house is super; taste is great. Maybe just a bit too much pineapple on top but that's just a personal choice.

I like this recipe. However I like to make the pineapple layer the first layer on the cake and then add the other toppings. The pineapple juices gives the cake a wonderfully moist texture and the other toppings add just the right touch. So great recipe but try switching the layers around to make it even better!

How do you cube the reduced-fat cream cheese?

cut it into squares with a knife

This is not an healthy receipe at all. The cake mixes in the stores have hydrogenated fats in them and so does the frozen fat-free whipped topping. I have looked high and low for non-hydrogenated whipped toppings but they do not exist. I don't allow anything that is hydrogenated into my kitchen. My husband has heart problems and he wouldn't be able to eat this.

Where did she say "Healthy"? I noticed that she said she made a few changes to reduce fat and calories, and she did do that. So what exactly is the problem? This is a delicious cake and I'll make it again, probably soon!

If the cake is too rich, too fattening, too high in cholesterol, obviously not a bowl of sugar-free gelatin, for crying out loud.. DON'T MAKE IT! I made it, my family loved it and you can bet I'll be doing it again. Worrying over what might happen, what could happen will also lead you to an early grave. This is a lovely recipe and I appreciate you sharing it. Many thanks!

Re: HAWAIIAN WEDDING CAKE

I have been making this cake for many years. When I was working and we would have a potluck everyone of my co-workers ask for this cake. Also I have been ask to make it for summer wedding receptions. It is so delish. I all ways say pray over it and then the calories don't count.

Just because he has heart disease doesn't mean he can't eat it, mine does too but the key is moderation as his cardioligist says " Don't eat the whole damn cake!!!!"
