Ingredients (view qty in metric system instead)
Cake: 1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening at room temperature 1/2 cup softened butter 2 cups sugar 5 large egg yolks 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1 cup buttermilk 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
Frosting: 1/2 cup softened butter 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 16 ounce package powdered sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 tsp. salt 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
Directions
For Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 8 or 9 inch round cake pans. Cream together shortening and butter in a large bowl. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add yolks one at a time, beating after each addition. Sift together flour and baking soda in a medium bowl. Beat into batter alternately with buttermilk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with flour. Stir in 1 1/2 cups coconut. Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake about 30 to 35 minutes until a toothpick comes out almost clean. Transfer cakes to a rack and cool 10 minutes. Invert pans and turn out cakes onto the rack. Cook cakes completely.
For Frosting: Beat together butter and cream cheese until fluffy and smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar. Beat frosting until smooth. Beat in vanilla and salt.
Place 1 cake layer on a plate. Spread top with half of frosting. Place remaining cake layer on top of frosting, pressing lightly to adhere. Spread remaining frosting over top of cake. Sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 cups coconut over frosting, pressing lightly to adhere.
Serves 8 to 10.
