How to make fresh coconut cake:

Frosting:1 3/4 c. sugar1/2 c. water3 egg whites1/2 tsp. cream of tartar1 tsp. vanilla2 c. shredded fresh coconut Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour 3 (9-inch) round cake pans. To make the cake, in a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks, whole eggs and sugar with an electric mixer for at least 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Stir the butter or margarine pieces into the hot milk until the butter has melted. Combine the flour with the baking powder. Add 1/2 cup of the flour mixture into the egg mixture, beating slowly. Add half the hot milk mixture, 1 cup of the flour mixture, then the remaining hot milk, beating after each addition. Add the remaining flour mixture and the vanilla. Beat well. Fold in the nuts. Pour the batter into the prepared pans.

Bake the layers in the 350° oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in the pans. Remove the cakes from the pans and cool completely on wire racks.

To make the frosting, in a medium saucepan, combine the sugar with the water. Bring the mixture to boiling and boil for 2 minutes until it is syrupy and the sugar dissolves. (Undissolved sugar will make the frosting grainy.) Make sure to scrape down the sides of the saucepan and stir in a figure-eight motion.

In large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar with an electric mixer until foamy. Slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites, beating constantly at the highes
