  • Pineapple Jelly: 9 oz (240g) canned pineapple pulp, 1/4 cup (60ml) canned pineapple juice, 1 tbsp (10g) gelatin powder, 1/4 cup (60ml) pineapple juice for dissolving gelatin, optional yellow food coloring

Instructions

  1. Prepare almond biscuit by combining butter, ground almonds, sugar, flour, salt and ice water; mix to form dough and bake until golden.
  2. Prepare pineapple jelly by dissolving gelatin in pineapple juice, mixing with pineapple pulp and juice, adding optional coloring, then refrigerate until set.
  3. Make the vanilla sponge cake by whisking eggs, sugar, vanilla, melting butter, and combining dry ingredients; bake the batter until done and let cool.
  4. Prepare white chocolate cream cheese frosting by melting white chocolate with 1/4 cup cream, mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla, then folding in whipped cream.
  5. Assemble the cake by placing a bit of frosting on the serving plate, then placing almond biscuit; spread thin frosting layer, add first sponge cake layer, soak with pineapple juice, spread frosting and pineapple jelly; repeat for remaining layers.
  6. Finish frosting entire cake with remaining white chocolate cream cheese frosting and decorate with dried pineapple flowers or preferred decoration.

Notes

1. Use good quality pineapple juice and essence for enhanced flavor. 2. Chill the frosting before assembling for easier spreading. 3. Soaking cake layers with pineapple juice keeps the cake moist and flavorful.
