Coconut Cake

1 box butter cake mix, mixed according to directions on box in 2 or 3 layers

Sauce:

½ cup milk

½ cup butter or margarine

½ cup sugar 

Directions:

Heat to dissolve sugar. When ready to stack cake, spoon sauce heavily on each layer as you stack and frost.

Frosting:

5 egg whites

2 cups sugar

6 tablespoons water

Pinch salt

1 ½ teaspoon cream of tartar

½ teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
Put ingredients in a large double boiler and cook over hot water until it stands in peaks, beating with mixer constantly (a big frosting but so easy and good). Frost cake layers after you have put sauce on each layer. Sprinkle fresh or frozen coconut to top each frosted layer and sides. This is an easy recipe and so moist it keeps in refrigerator great and gets better with time!
