Easy Hummingbird Cake From A Boxed Cake Mix Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
• Divide mixture equally between 2 greased 9" round cake pans.
• Bake on both pans on middle oven rack for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes then remove cakes from pans and let cool completely on wire racks.
• Place one cake (the "bottom" one) on a plate and frost with cream cheese frosting, taking care to make it heavier on top.
• Place the other cake (the "top" cake) on top of the already frosted cake to create a layer cake.
• Frost the top cake so it blends with the bottom cake and forms a two-tier layer cake.
• NOTE: If the cakes are not flat on the top, use a long knife to cut the "baking bump" off so they are flat BEFORE you frost them. It will give them a more uniform appearance.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C fan forced.
• Drain pineapple keeping juice for icing.
• In a large mixing bowl beat egg whites and sugar for 1 minute using electric beater.
