What each ingredient does
- Angel's food cake
- Provides the light, airy sponge that forms the body of the cake.
- Grated pineapple
- Adds moisture and bright fruit flavour to the filling.
- Icing
- Sweetens the pineapple and helps bind it into a spreadable filling.
The step that matters
Press the juice from the grated pineapple using a fine sieve. Excess liquid can soak into the delicate angel food cake and make it soggy, so draining the pineapple keeps the layers light and the filling thick enough to spread.
