Coconut Cake
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
3 1/2 cups cake flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 egg whites, stiffly beaten
FROSTING
2 cups sour cream
1 cup sugar
1 cup shredded fresh, or fresh-frozen, coconut
1 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup sugar
Ambrosia
2 cups mandarin orange segments
2 cups pineapple, cut in small pieces (tidbit size)
1 cup grated fresh, or fresh-frozen, coconut

1
Blend the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla
2
Sift flour with baking powder. Add to butter/sugar mixture alternately with milk, mixing well after each addition.
3
Fold in beaten egg whites.
4
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven, in three greased, floured cake pans, for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes on clean. Cool on a wire rack.
5
Mix sour cream, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 1/2 cups coconut; reserve about 2/3 cup. Spread remainder between layers of cake, after cake has completely cooled. (You can make more filling and cut the layers in half horizontally to make a coconut torte --it gets wonderfully moist that way.)
6
Combine cream and 1/3 cup sugar and whip until stiff; fold in reserved filling. Frost outside of cake. Sprinkle with reserved coconut. Refrigerate or freeze.
7
Take about 6 of the orange segments and press them through a sieve to extract juice in a bowl. Add remaining segments, pineapple and coconut. Stir. Serve with coconut cake.
