Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes. Gently remove the egg whites from the mixer to a medium bowl and set aside.
- Combine the sugar and butter in the bowl of the mixer and cream together, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and whip an additional 30 seconds to incorporate.
- In another medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder and fine salt. With the mixer on low speed, pour half the coconut milk into the butter and sugar mixture. Turn the mixer off and add half the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are just incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Repeat this process with the remaining coconut milk and dry ingredients.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter. Pour the batter into the greased baking dish. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- For the coconut syrup: Place the coconut water and honey in a microwave-safe container. Microwave until the honey is dissolved, about 1 minute. Poke the surface of the cake with the tines of a fork. Brush the cake with the warm syrup. Sprinkle the flaked coconut evenly over the cake.
- For the frosting: Place the sugar and coconut water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Let boil for 2 minutes before you add it to the egg whites (see below).
- Meanwhile, place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract. Reduce the speed to the lowest setting and slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites. Continue to drizzle until all the syrup has been added. Then, turn the mixer up to high speed and whip until the frosting becomes thick, glossy and holds stiff peaks, about 3 minutes more. The frosting should be used to decorate the cake immediately.
- Scrape the frosting onto the center of the cake in a large mound. Push outward with an offset spatula, spreading the frosting over the surface of the cake and making cloudlike swirls to cover completely.

COCONUT CLOUD CAKE
WOW! This is one mighty good coconut cake. It's a coconut lover's dream (even if you somewhat like coconut you'll adore this cake). Bursting with coconut flavor in every layer, the cake is super moist and tender. Poking holes in the cake and pouring the cream of coconut over it takes the good cake to a whole new level of...

Steps:
- 1. CAKE DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 pan, or spray with baking spray. (This could also be made into cupcakes or 2 8" layers.)
- 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed to combine.
- 3. Gradually beat in softened butter and mix until crumbly. Beat in egg whites, one at a time. Beat in whole egg.
- 4. In a separate small bowl, whisk heavy cream and extracts together.
- 5. Slowly stir this mixture into the cake batter, beating the mixture until fluffy, about 3 minutes (depending on the speed of your mixer).
- 6. Pour batter into pan. I always "burp" my cakes by bouncing them on the countertops to release any bubbles, making the cake denser without a lot of holes.
- 7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
- 8. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, poke holes throughout the cake with a fork.
- 9. Pour cream of coconut over the top, letting it absorb into the cake. Cool thoroughly before frosting.
- 10. FROSTING: Note: Cold mixing bowl and utensils work best when making the icing. In a large mixing bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and coconut extract together. Mix on medium speed until smooth, with no lumps.
- 11. Slowly add the heavy whipping cream.
- 12. Beat on high until the cream forms stiff peaks (about 3 to 5 minutes). Scrape sides and bottom of the bowl several times while mixing.
- 13. Spread whipped icing over cake and top with coconut. Store in a tightly covered pan in the refrigerator.

I found this recipe in one of those supplements at the check-out stands at the grocery stores. It was full of cookies and bars. I made this for my cookie trays this year and they were a hit. If you like coconut, these are for you.

This light, flavorful dessert is a little slice of heaven. I can imagine it replacing the coconut with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or some other deliciousness.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. With a fine sieve, sift together flour and 3/4 cups sugar four times.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed, beat together egg whites and water until foamy. Add salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla; beat until soft peaks form. Increase speed to medium-high and sprinkle in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until stiff but not dry.
- Transfer to a large bowl. In six additions, sift dry ingredients over meringue, folding in quickly but gently.
- Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan with removable bottom. Smooth top with an offset spatula. Run a knife through batter to release air bubbles. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and springy to touch.
- Invert pan on its legs or over the neck of a glass bottle, and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Make the frosting: In the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer set over a saucepan of simmering water, combine egg whites, sugar, water, and cream of tartar. Cook over medium heat, whisking frequently, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Attach the bowl to a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat the mixture on high speed until glossy and voluminous, about 7 minutes. Beat in the vanilla.
- Carefully run a long offset spatula or knife around the inner and outer perimeter of the cake pan to release cake.
- Place on a plate, bottom side up. Using a long serrated knife, carefully slice off 1 1/2 inches from the top of the cake, being sure not to break the layer. Set aside. Cut out a 1-inch-wide, 1-inch-deep channel halfway between the center and edge of cake. Spread icing into channel and over entire layer. Sprinkle with coconut.
- Gently place reserved layer on top and ice with remaining frosting. Sprinkle with coconut and serve immediately.
