Ingredients

Ingredients:

2 eggs plus 4 egg yolks

1 ½ cups sugar

1 cup milk

½ cup butter or margarine

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 Tbs. baking powder

1 tsp. Vanilla extract

½ cup chopped nuts, optional

Frosting:

1 1/3 cups sugar

½ cup water

4 egg whites

½ tsp. Cream of tartar

1 tsp. Vanilla extract

2 cups flaked coconut

Directions

Preheat oven at 350.

In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, yolks and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. In a saucepan, heat milk and butter until butter melts. Combine flour and baking powder; add to egg mixture alternately with milk mixture. Beat until well mixed. Add vanilla. Fold in nuts if desired. Pour into three greased 9-inch round baking pans. Bake at 350 for 15 – 18 minutes or until cakes test done. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. For frosting, in a saucepan, bring sugar and water to a boil. Boil 3 – 4 minutes or until a candy thermometer reads 242 ( firm-ball stage ). Meanwhile, beat egg whites and creamf tartar in a mixing bowl until foamy. Slowly pour in hot sugar mixture and continue to beat on high for 6 – 8 minutes or until stiff peaks. Add vanilla. Frost the tops of two cake layers and sprinkle with coconut; stack on a cake plate with plain layer top. Frost sides and top of cake; sprinkle with coconut. Refriderate for several hours.
