PINEAPPLE ICEBOX CAKE
Here is a popular dessert in my family. It comes from Naparima Girls' High School cook book. The original calls for almonds which I found to be rather bland. I loved it with brazil nuts. I have also substituted walnuts as it's not everyday I come by brazil nuts. Use which ever are your favourite. The next time I make this I plan to use caramelized pecans.

Steps:
- Cut the cake into one inch thick slices.
- Cream butter and icing sugar until fluffy.
- Add egg yolks one at a time, beating after each addition and scraping the sides.
- Add vanilla, pineapple and brazil nuts.
- Beat egg whites until stiff but moist and fold into mixture gently.
- Place a layer of cake in a dish, then a layer of pineapple-butter mixture; continue to layer until all the cake and mixture are used up, ending with the pineapple mixture.
- Cover with foil and freeze for 24 hours.
- When ready to use take out and thaw for a 10 minutes. Garnish with whipped cream, a maraschino cherry and sprig of mint,or candied orange pieces -- whatever suits you.
- Variation: drained peaches or ripe mangoes could be substituted for the pineapple. I have only ever made it with pineapple.
