PAWPAW CREAM CAKE
1 two-layer white cake mix, prepared according to package
directions
2 3-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup butter-flavored Crisco
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 to 1/2 cup pawpaw pulp
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 slightly beaten egg white (see note)
Dash salt
1 recipe Belle's Diner Meringue (recipe follows)
2 large bags black walnut pieces (about 1 pound)
Belle's Diner Meringue:
5 egg whites
2 heaping tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup granulated sugar
For meringue: Beat egg whites in electric mixer until soft peaks
form. Add cornstarch and sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread
meringue on top of one baked cake layer. Bake in 350-degree oven
for 5 minutes. Remove from oven; cool.
Prepare frosting: Mix cream cheese, shortening, vanilla, pawpaw
pulp, egg white, confectioners' sugar and salt. Whip well.
Place remaining layer of baked cake on plate.
Spread 1/3 of frosting on cake layer. Sprinkle 1/3 of black
walnuts on top of frosting. Place meringue-topped layer on top
of frosted layer. Spread rest of frosting on outside of cake,
leaving meringue topping as is. Press walnuts into frosting.
Note: Because of the danger of salmonella in uncooked eggs, you
can reduce risk for the very young, very old or those with
weakened immune systems by using pasteurized egg whites.
