What each ingredient does
- Angel's food cake
- Provides the light, airy sponge structure that forms the layers of the cake.
- Grated pineapple
- Adds moisture and fruity sweetness to the filling once its juice is pressed out.
- Icing
- Sweetens the pineapple filling and thickens it slightly so it holds between the layers.
The step that matters
Pressing the pineapple juice. Removing excess juice keeps the filling thick, so it does not soak into the delicate angel food cake layers and make them soggy.
