Instructions / Recipe

Make the cake * Combine all ingredients. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter three 8-inch cake baking pans and flour them. * Place the egg whites in large bowl. Beat until they form pinnacles. Mix the flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. * Use an electric blender to blend the butter and shortening in a large bowl. Add the granulated sugar to the butter mixture and beat it until smooth and creamy. * Add the egg yolks to the batter and beat well. * Add the flour and baking soda mixture to the butter mix in portions. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Add the coconut and chopped nuts. * Continue to overlap the egg whites until you have a uniform batter. * Divide the batter equally between the three prepared baking containers. Bake in the oven for 26-31 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto a wire rack. Frost and Assemble * Mix the frosting ingredients together. * While the cake bakes, beat the cream cheese and margarine together until smooth. * Beat in confectioners' sugar. Add vanilla to the mixture and mix until smooth. * For icing that is extremely hard, add some milk or cream to achieve a spreadable consistency. * Layer the layers of cake, then spread the icing among them. Ice the top and sides of the cake. * Add 1/4 cup chopped nuts and 1/4 Cup coconut to your liking. * Slice the cake and serve!
