• In a large mixing bowl,, beat the egg whites and the cream of tartar together until very stiff peaks form (DO NOT UNDER BEAT!).
• Pour egg yolk/oil batter over the egg whites; gently fold the egg whites making sure it is well blended from the bottom of the bowl (I use a large spatula for this).
• Pour the batter in tube pan.
• Bake for 60 minutes, or until cake springs back when touched.
• Invert/turn over and cool (I use a long-neck bottle, a beer bottle will do fine to invert the pan on).
• Run a knife along sides of cooled cake, and remove from pan.
• Split into two layers.
• Fill and frost with pineapple filling/topping (make sure that cake is completely cooled before frosting and filling.
• To make the pineapple topping/filling: whip the 2-3 cups of whipped cream add in the amount of sugar that you desire.
• Fold in the very well drained crushed pieapple.
• Use to fill and frost cake.
• Refrigerate any leftover cake, but you won't have to worry, there won't be any leftovers LOL!
• Delicious!

MARIEVILLE'S PINEAPPLE FLAN

Steps:

• For Caramel Sauce, put a cup of sugar in a small saucepan, over low heat. Keep your eye on it. If it burns, you will have to start over. it just needs to melt and be slightly golden that's all. Immediately pour the caramel into a metal pan and swirl it around to cover the bottom and sides. You have to be quick because once it starts to cool down you don't stand a chance. The caramel should have cooled down before you pour the pineapple mixture in it.
• For Pineapple Mixture, bring juice and 1/2 cup sugar to boil in medium saucepan over high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until mixture is reduced to 2 cups, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Place egg yolks in large bowl. Whisk in pineapple mixture.
