Yes, a few bits of egg yolk did escape when I was separating the eggs..no wonder...to compensate for the sides of the cake, I just added a wall of shredded coconut and left the top of the cake gleaming with the shiny, white icing. It was gorgeous! I will be making this cake again this weekend. I have been looking for the perfect coconut cake and this it! My search is over. Thanks! Denise Hi David,

It's one of my favorites. A few things about the frosting: 1. Did you let the sugar mixture come to a rolling boil? 2. Was your mixing bowl impeccably clean? Even a little bit of egg yolk can make the frosting not as fluffy. 3. Did you use the whisk attachment? 4. Did you beat the mixture long enough? Hi Denise, so glad you liked the cake.

My only problem was making the frosting, just could not get it thick enough to be of spreading consistency...but I will definately try again. The flavor and texture of the cake were amazing, loved the coconut filling, and the frosting was delicious--like homemade marshmallow...I did not have self-rising flour so I used 2 3/4 cups of cake flour and added 3 tsp baking flour. Perfect. I made this cake for a get together at a friends house…it was wonderful!

I've tried this recipe, and now I also make it as a wedding cake, and it's a success. For years I’ve tried to find a really soft coconut cake, instead of those heavy and greasy ones.
