Ingredients:

For the Coconut Cake:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

For the 7-Minute Frosting:

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup water
3 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.

2. Sift Dry Ingredients:

In a bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar:

In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla:

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

5. Alternate Dry Ingredients and Coconut Milk:

Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the coconut milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Fold in the shredded coconut.

6. Divide and Bake:

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake layers to cool completely.

7. Prepare 7-Minute Frosting:

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together sugar, cream of tartar, salt, water, and egg whites. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk continuously for 7 minutes or until the frosting forms stiff peaks.

8. Frost the Cake:

Place one cake layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of 7-minute frosting over the top. Repeat with the remaining layers, covering the entire cake with the frosting.
