Hawaiian Paradise Cake
Have you ever tried the Hawaiian Paradise Cake from King’s Hawaiian Bakery?! Three layers of vivid Chiffon cake in the colors of guava, passion fruit and lime covered in whipped cream frosting. On top is a glaze, striped in the same three colors. The cake has three delicious Hawaiian flavors, guava, passion fruit, and lime. The most unmistakable flavor is guava. The delicious tropical fruit is complimented by the tangy and citrusy notes from the layers of passion fruit and lime. As a fork cuts through a slice, the thin sweet glaze spreads throughout the cake uniting the flavors. This cake is delicious and beautiful!
