I didn't note who posted it, I think over at the old Gail's. Has anyone made this? It sounds really nice for the holidays.
Cranberry - Ambrosia Cake
(Makes 1 – 4 layer cake)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
1 pkg. white cake mix
2 large eggs
1 – 8 oz. container sour cream
1 cup water
1/3 cup oil
Mix together the above and place in 4 greased round cake pans.
Bake 15 to 17 minutes.
Cranberry Ambrosia Filling
1 ½ cups sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 cup frozen cranberry juice (concentrate, thawed)
1 – 8 ¼ oz. crushed pineapple in syrup
1 (12 oz) container cranberry orange relish
2 Tbsp. butter
2 tsp. orange rind, grated
Stir sugar and cornstarch together. Stir in cranberry juice, pineapple and relish. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat. Add butter and orange rind. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 8 hours.
Cream Cheese Frosting
1 – 8 oz. cream cheese
½ cup butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. almond extract
1 to 3 tsp. milk
Mix the above together. Place filling between cake layers and on top. If you want, you can place toasted almonds around the side of the cake.
(I imagine the frosting goes on the sides of the cake, with the filling on top?)
