Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 eggs, separated
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 cup sugar, divided
1 cup flour
1-1/2 tsp. CALUMET Baking Powder
1/3 cup 2% milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 can (14 oz.) lite coconut milk
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream
2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh pineapple
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/3 cup BAKER'S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut, toasted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Beat egg whites in medium bowl with mixer on high speed until soft peaks form, adding cream of tartar after 20 sec. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
  • Beat egg yolks in large bowl with mixer on high speed until blended. Gradually beat in remaining sugar until thickened and lemon colored. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add to egg yolk mixture alternately with 2% milk, beating well after each addition. Blend in vanilla. Gently stir in egg whites.
  • Pour into 2 (9-inch) parchment-lined round pans sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Bake 25 min. or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool cakes completely in pans. (Do not remove cakes from pans.) Pierce cakes with large fork at 1/4-inch intervals.
  • Mix coconut milk, condensed milk and sour cream until blended. Pour 1/2 cup milk mixture into medium bowl. Add COOL WHIP; whisk just until blended. Set aside. Pour remaining coconut milk mixture slowly over cakes, using about 1-1/4 cups mixture for each cake layer.
  • Toss fruit with 1 cup of the COOL WHIP mixture. Place 1 cake layer on rimmed serving plate; top with fruit mixture. Sprinkle with half the coconut; cover with second cake layer. Spread remaining COOL WHIP mixture over cake; sprinkle with remaining coconut. Refrigerate 1 hour.
