Directions:
Cream together butter and sugar. Add milk alternately with dry ingredients starting and ending with flour. Fold in egg whites. Pour in three greased and floured pans. Bake 350º for 30 minutes.

Cook sugar, butter, water, and egg yolks in double boiler until thick. Add coconut, raisins and pecans. Before icing, spread a thin layer of white Karo syrup over the cake to keep it from rolling up. Ice the cake with 7 minute frosting. If you double the recipe you will have quite a handsome 14” high Kahuna!

Featured at Butterworth Bash #1 by Billie. This is a traditional Southern lane cake, but when doubled, it is over a foot tall.
