INGREDIENTS

• 12 oz. by weight granulated white sugar
• 3 egg whites
• 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
• 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/3 cup coconut water
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. coconut extract
• Suggested: Coconut Cake from Scratch Recipe

DIRECTIONS

• Bring two quarts of water in large post to a boil; reduce to simmer.
• In large bowl which will fit over simmering water pot, place sugar, egg whites, cream of tartar, kosher salt and coconut water.
• Set bowl of sugar mixture over simmering water and mix, on low speed, for 1 minute. After 1 minute, increase speed to high and keep it there for 5 minutes - remove from heat.
• Add vanilla and coconut extract and beat for 1 minute. Set aside for 5 minutes before frosting cake. (Cake layers which have been split in-half should not be placed cut sides together. Cut sides will take more frosting.) Place 1/2 cup frosting on each cake layer. Sprinkle each layer with shredded coconut if desired or mix coconut into frosting.
