2 Eggs
1 c Sugar
1 2/3 c Sifted flour
1 ts Baking powder
3/4 ts Baking soda
1 c Sour cream (do not use low
-fat)
1/2 c Flaked coconut (up to 3/4)
-ICING-
2 Egg whites
1 1/2 c Sugar
1/4 ts Cream of tartar
1/8 ts Salt
1/3 c Water
1 ts Coconut flavoring
Grease and flour 9″ sq. pan. Beat until very thick, 2 eggs. Gradually beat
in the sugar. Stir flour and sour cream in alternately. Add coconut. Bake
at 350 for about 25 to 30 minutes.
I ice this with one of two things. Plain whipped cream (the real stuff)
with coconut flavoring added to it instead of the traditional vanilla, and
dried cocnut folded into it or this little jewel:
Combine egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar, salt and water in top of double
boiler. Beat 1 minute with rotary beater. Cook over boiling water, beating
constantly with rotary beater 7 minutes or until icing stands in firm
peaks. Remove from heat; add flavoring. Beat until of spreading
consistency. This will ice 2 layer cakes 8″ or a 9 inch square cake. After
cake is iced, gently pat coconut all over cake.
