vanilla. Add salt, baking powder, cake flour and 3/4 cup sugar and mix
until smooth. Beat 4 egg whites until stiff and carefully fold into
batter. Pour into 10-inch springform pan that has been greased and
floured or waxed paper lined. Bake at 325F about 50 minutes, or until
cake tests done. Cool. Cut cake into 4 very thin or 3 thicker layers.
To make filling, combine 2 cups milk, 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon
vanilla in saucepan. Bring to boil. Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons

To assemble, spread custard between cake layers. Whip cream with 3
tablespoons sugar until stiff. Frost top and sides of cake with
whipped cream. Sprinkle top and sides generously with coconut. Chill
