Directions:
Filling: in small bowl, beat egg white at high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. By hand, stir in coconut, flour and vanilla; blend well. Set this mixture aside.

Cake: in large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients; blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Pour batter into greased and floured 12-cup bundt pan. Drop teaspoonfuls of the coconut filling over the chocolate batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until done. Cool in pan 10-15 minutes; turn out on wire rack or serving plate to complete cooling.
Optional: top with chocolate glaze.

NOTE: we usually double the filling and pour 3/4 of the cake batter into the bunt pan, then drop the teaspoonfuls of filling over the batter, and pour 1/4 of the cake batter over the top of the filling.
