Something a little different - quick and easy to make as you use a white cake mix and vanilla frosting and then jazz them up.
I wanted to make something a little different so I thought I would try this and it turned out well, although I might try more of whipped topping instead of vanilla frosting next time. It was very moist and flavorful with the pineapple being the main flavor with just a hint of the lime, mint and rum flavors.
1
Preheat the oven to the degree specified on the cake mix (mine was 350 degrees). Separate the egg whites from the yolk.
2
Zest the lime (which is just running it over a grater) then cut the lime in half. Set aside the zest for the frosting.
3
Squeeze the juice of one lime into a large bowl, then put box of cake mix in , add in Pineapple, oil, eggs whites, and the mint flavoring.
4
Mix until well blended - will still look a bit lumpy but it is just the pineapple bits.
5
Spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick coating spray then pour the mix into the pan and bake according the the cake mix package (mine was 28-35 mins).
6
Bake until it springs up when touched in the center then remove and allow to cool before frosting the cake.
7
To make the frosting, put the canned frosting in a bowl, add the zest of lime and the artificial rum flavoring and mix thoroughly.
8
Frost the cake and then serve.
