Number Of Ingredients 14

1 can(s) 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup(s) lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon(s) grated lemon rind
- yellow food coloring
2 cup(s) all purpose flour
1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1 1/2 cup(s) sugar
3/4 cup(s) shortening
2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1 cup(s) milk
4 - egg whites

3/4 cup(s) flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. In medium bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, rind, and food coloring (if desired). Chill. Meanwhile, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. In large bowl, beat sugar, shortening, and vanilla until fluffy. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, beating well. In small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold into batter.
  • Spread into 2 greased and floured 8 or 9 inch round layer cake pans. Bake 25 minutes or until wooden pick comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely. Split each layer horizontally into two layers. Spread about 1/2 cup lemon mixture between each layer and on top to within 1 inch of edge. Frost side and 1 inch rim. Coat side of cake with coconut. Store covered in refrigerator.
  • For Creamy White Frosting: In small bowl, combine 3 cups powdered sugar, 2/3 cup shortening, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla; beat on low speed until smooth. Add additional milk, if needed, for desired consistency. TIP: To split cake layer, measure halfway up side; make with toothpicks. Using long piece of thread, rest on picks. Cross thread and pulled through.
