Ingredients:	Ingredients: Cake: 1/2 cup butter 2 cups sugar 1 cup coconut milk 3 cups cake flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons cream of tartar 1 cup fresh coconut, grated 6 egg whites, beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla Icing: 1/4 cup white karo 1/2 cup milk 1 1/2 sticks butter Pinch of salt 2 cups sugar Vanilla

Directions:	Directions: Cake: Cream sugar and butter. Combine flour, soda, and cream of tartar and add alternately with the coconut milk. Fold in the coconut, egg whites and vanilla. Frosting: Cook all together over low heat until butter melts. Then turn up heat and boil one minute. Add one cup fresh coconut, if desired. (Or, I prefer to sprinkle coconut over iced cake instead of adding to cooked icing.) Beat icing until cool. Keep cake covered and refrigerated. *Growing up, this was a Christmas tradition that was always served with Boiled Custard.
