Directions:Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 3 round cake pans- (I line mine with parchment paper) grease and flour. Cream butter and shortening: add sugar and beat until mixture is smooth. Add egg yolks and beat well. Combine flour and baking soda - add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Stir in vanilla, add coconuts and pecans. Beat egg whites until they form a stiff peak, FOLD in batter. Pour in prepared pans. Bake for 25 minutes. Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add Confectioners sugar- a cup at a time until all is incorporated add vanilla and beat until smooth and fluffy. Fold in Pecans. Spread on cool cake. (I use the 2-3 tbsp. of coconut to toast and put on top of cake after frosting.) |
