Method for "Almond Coconut 3 Layer Cake With Coconut Frosting"
Set oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three (8-inch) cake pans and line bottoms with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry; set aside. In another bowl, cream butter, Crisco and sugar until fluffy (about 4-5 minutes). Add in yolks (one at a time) beating well after each addition. In a bowl, sift flour and baking soda together. Add to the egg yolk mixture alternating with buttermilk. Add in coconut and nuts; beat well. Fold in beaten egg whites with a spatula. Divide the batter evenly between the three cake pans. Bake for 25 minutes, or until cake tests done. Place the pans on a wire rack to cool. Run a dinner knife around the edges of each layer, and invert each onto a rack, then invert them again onto another rack so layers are right side up. Allow to cool completely before frosting. For frosting: Cream together the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar (this takes about 5 minutes). To achieve the spreading consistancy you desire, you may need to add 2-3 tablespoons of half and half cream and 1-1/2 cups of additional powdered sugar. Stir in 3/4 cup coconut and 3/4 cups pecans. Frost and fill cake. Sprinkle the top with reserved coconut.
