TROPICAL FRUIT CAKE (1963)
This is another of my SIL Becky's Great Great Uncle, Lee A. Harley's recipes. This was selected as one of the ten best in the State of South Carolina in the 1963 Pillsbury Bake Off.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 300 F
- 2. Prepare baking pan, standard size, 10x4, one-piece tube pan, by greasing all of the interior with butter. Cover bottom, sides, and tube with wax paper (or parchment paper if you prefer). Then grease the waxed paper as you did the pan. Flour the pan, shaking out the excess.
- 3. MAKING THE CAKE: Add baking powder to flour and sift three times. Blend butter and sugar with coloring added.
- 4. Cream butter and sugar (for 15 minutes -- watch the clock)-- add one egg and cream a little longer, then add the other four eggs and beat for two minutes.
- 5. Reduce speed of mixer to add the pineapple with the juice and blend for 2 minutes.
- 6. Add the coconut and blend for 2 more minutes.
- 7. Add the nuts and blend for 2 minutes.
- 8. Reduce mixer to slowest speed and begin adding alternately 1/3 of the flour and 1/2 of the milk blending for a minute between each addition until all is blended in. (You will start and end with flour) Scrape the sides of the bowl occasionally so batter will be well mixed.
- 9. Spoon the batter into the pan (using a spoon or cup) and level the batter in the pan by spreading with the back of a spoon. Do not tilt the pan as you place it in the oven.
- 10. Bake 300 F for 1 hour and 20-30 minutes. When checker comes out clean the cake is done.
- 11. Place pan on cooling rack for about 10 minutes, then invert on cooling rack, remove waxed paper, and invert once more onto cake plate. When the cake is fully cooled, frost with butter lemon icing.
- 12. MAKING THE LEMON BUTTER ICING: Blend the cream gradually into the sugar, stirring all the time, now blend in the melted butter, and the lemon juice, Whip with tablespoon until well creamed and ready to spread. If too thin, add a little more sugar, if too thick, just a little more butter. For coloring add 3 drops of green coloring before whipping.
- 13. NOTE: to turn this into His "Fiesta Fruit Cake" add one 9.5 ounce jar of Maraschino cherries , drained, chopped fine (all except 7 slices) which you reserve to garnish the top.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH TROPICAL FRUIT COMPOTE
Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Sift the flour together with 1/2 cup of the sugar and set aside.
- Put the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer. Be SURE that the bowl is clean and dry, any fat in the bowl can prevent the egg whites from whipping up fluffy fluffy fluffy! Add the salt and the cream of tartar to the egg whites. Beat the egg whites on a medium-high speed until they reach soft peaks, about 5 minutes.
- While the mixer is running, gradually add the remaining sugar. DO NOT plop the sugar in all at once or it will push the air out of the whites that we are trying to beat in. Add in the vanilla and zests and then stop the mixer. Add 1/3 of the flour/sugar mixture and fold gently fold, do this quickly but gently. Repeat the process 2 more times until all of the flour/sugar mixture is incorporated.
- Transfer the cake batter into an ungreased tube pan. Bang the cake pan on the counter a couple of times to release any air bubbles trapped in the cake batter.
- Bake the cake on a sheet tray in the preheated oven until it is light and springy, about 1 1/4 hours. Cool the cake for at least 1 hour before unmolding. Serve with the tropical fruit compote.
- For the compote: In a food processor or blender, puree the coarsely chopped mango and 1/2 cup orange juice. If this mixture needs a little more sweetness, add in the 2 teaspoons of sugar and puree for another 10 seconds or until the sugar has dissolved.
- Combine all of the fruit and remaining orange juice and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Serve slices of the cake drizzled with the mango puree and sprinkled generously with the fruit compote. Garnish with mint and serve.
- Wow! How tropical-fruity and the cake is light as air!

Steps:
- Pastry cream: In a large sauce-pan, bring milk, coconut, and salt to just under a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand until cool, about 2 hours. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve; discard solids.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar and cornstarch. Whisk in egg yolks, then milk mixture. Stir in butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then continue to cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Pass mixture through fine-mesh sieve. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto surface of pastry cream to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
- Crêpes: Combine flour, granulated sugar, salt, milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter in a blender. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- Lightly brush an 8-inch non-stick skillet or crêpe pan with butter. Heat over medium until just starting to smoke. Remove from heat and pour a scant 2 tablespoons batter into center, swirling to cover bottom. Cook until edges are golden and center is dry, about 30 seconds. Flip and cook about 20 seconds more. Slide crêpe onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing skillet with more butter and adjusting heat as needed; stack crêpes as you go (you should end up with about 40). Let cool completely. Crêpes can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days.
- Whisk chilled pastry cream to remove any lumps. In a medium bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold into pastry cream. Place a crêpe on a flat serving dish. Spread about 1/4 cup pastry cream onto crêpe. Repeat process with remaining crêpes and pastry cream, finishing with a crêpe. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- To serve, whip remaining 1 cup heavy cream with confectioners' sugar to stiff peaks. Arrange pineapple slices on top of cake, overlapping slightly. Dollop whipped cream on top and garnish with toasted coconut.
