Apparently, this cake is very popular in Kona, but I never got a chance to try one, so I got a recipe off the internet to make myself. It is a chocolate chiffon layer cake with pastry cream filling and a thick rich frosting (described as like a German Chocolate Cake frosting without the coconut). The chocolate chiffon and pastry cream combo was amazing! I was not a fan of the frosting, although the frosting is supposed to be defining part. I think a chocolate whipped cream frosting would make a delicious and light cake so maybe I’ll try that next time. I would also double the amount of pastry cream because it was a very thin layer that added moisture but not as much taste as I would like. And as a general rule, one can never have too much pastry cream.
