Description
This recipe came about as i searched for a recipe for my future sister-in-law's hawaiian-themed bridal shower. I found several recipes that sounded good, but not quite right, so i combined and modified them to make this one. This is a very moist cake that is somewhat twinkie-like in flavor (if twinkies had coconut!). The fruit is pulverized and while it adds to the flavor of the cake, you really can't pinpoint that there's fruit in it. I winged the frosting recipe, and it came out good. This makes a thick and custardy frosting, and the fruit is more perceptable here. If you prefer a lighter and fluffier frosting, add in more cool whip. The unflavored gelatin keeps the frosting firmer longer.
