Steps:
- Beat 1 cup butter at medium speed with electric mixer until fluffy; gradually add 2 cups sugar. Add 4 egg yolks one at a time, blending well after each.

- Beat egg whites at high speed until peaks form. Gently fold in egg whites into batter mixture. Spoon into three greased and floured pans.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes until done. Cool on wire racks for ten minutes. Remove cakes from pans and cool on wire racks.
- Spread lemon filling between layers. Spread cream cheese frosting over all and cover top and sides with coconut. Garnish with lemon slices.
- For lemon filling: Combine 1 cup sugar, cornstarch and boiling water in medium pan. Cook while stirring until dissolved. Temper eggs. Then add eggs to cooked mixture. Whisk in lemon juice and rind. Cook whisking constantly until mixture is thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in butter. Cool completely. (Do not stir once cooled as fillings made with cornstarch will breakdown and liquefy if stirred; just spoon on).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or one 9x13-inch cake pan and set aside.
- Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until very smooth, at least four minutes. Add eggs, vanilla, and coconut flavoring and beat well to combine. In a separate medium-sized bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add flour mixture and the buttermilk to the butter mixture and beat with an electric mixer at medium speed, scraping down the sides as needed, until thoroughly blended and smooth, around two to three minutes.
- Pour batter into the prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. This is about 25 to 30 minutes for round cakes and 30 to 35 minutes for a 9x13 cake.
- Cool completely and frost with the no-fail seven-minute frosting. Sprinkle with coconut and press coconut into the cake's sides immediately after frosting.
- Keep covered at room temperature for up to two days or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER'S BUTTERMILK LEMON COCONUT CAKE
My great grandmother made this all the time and no one had the recipe. She never measured anything she put in it. Finally my dad watched her make it one time and before she added each ingredient, he made her stop so he could measure it and write it down. This cake is different from the usual coconut cake in that the icing is less fluffy and instead soaks the cake more. It is to die for!! This is the moistest, densest cake, and the combination of flavors is amazing!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300. Grease and flour 3 9" cake pans. Sift together flour and salt.
- Cream shortening and sugar until fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time until combined.
- Add buttermilk, soda, and flavoring.
- Add flour mixture gradually until combined. This is similar to a pound cake batter.
- Pour into cake pans at bake for 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean.
- For Icing:.
- Cook sugar, milk, coconut, marshmallows over a double boiler until smooth. Note: as it is hard to find unsweeted coconut, I've used sweeted and reduced the sugar to 1/2 Cup. Fold in almond extract. Icing will be fairly runny--it's supposed to seep into the cake and run off the sides. If you want it to be thicker, add more marshmallows.
- Ice layers and top of cake while still hot. I poke holes in the layers with a toothpick so that the icing seeps down into the cake.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight. No cheating! You MUST serve it after it's been refrigerated, and serve it cold - it's best that way.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Make the sponge cake the day before or morning you will serve cake.
- Preheat oven to 350°F Butter two 9-inch layer cake pans and line the bottoms with wax paper.
- Sift the flour, salt and baking powder together and set aside. Beat egg yolks in a large bowl with and electric mixer on high for 5 minutes. With mixer running, gradually add 3/4 cup sugar and beat until thick and light yellow, about 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla and lemon extract. Sift flour mixture over batter and stir in by hand until no white remains. Then blend in butter stirring until it no longer looks separated. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar on high until frothy. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Stir about 1 cup of whites into batter, then gently fold remaining whites inches Divide batter evenly between pans and bake until layers spring back when lightly touched, about 25 minutes. Let cool on rack 30 minutes, then turn out of pans. Peel of paper and let cool completely (at least 4 hours).
- Prepare the Lemon Filling 2 hours before serving.
- Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt together in large saucepan. Gradually pour in the water, whisking to prevent lumps. Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Meanwhile beat yolks with electric mixer on high, until thick and light. Mix a little hot starch mixture into eggs to warm, then pour eggs into pan. Cook over low heat, whisking, just until hot and edges are just starting to cook. Be very careful not to overcook or it will separate. Remove from heat and whisk in juice, rind, butter, vanilla and lemon extract. Refrigerate until cool to touch, but not chilled and set - should still be spreadable.
- Sift sugar and salt together and set aside. Cream butter and margarine together in large bowl with mixer on high for 3 minutes. With mixer still running, beat in corn syrup and vanilla. Reduce mixer to low and beat in sugar in two additions. Blend in cream until spreading consistency is reached, using a little extra if necessary.

Using pastry bag, pipe scrolls of frosting along top edge of cake and large rosette in center.

GRANDMOTHER'S POUND CAKE
The recipe is from Fannie Farmer Cookbook (1972 edition). It is a buttery dense cake. I have been making it for years. My family loves this cake. My daughter is especially fond of the ends. I have made it to serve plain or as an ice cream cake topped with a frozen fruit mixture. You must use an electric mixer to get the batter light and fluffy.

BISQUICK VELVET COCONUT CAKE
This came from the side of a Bisquick box, but I must admit it is about 30 yrs. old or better. My grandmother used to make this cake often because it was fast and my grandfather loved coconut. It is really "velvety" in texture and you'll love this too! This recipe is still seen on boxes of Bisquick called Velvet Crumb Cake ... after all these years, it must be good to others beside me!
