Diabetic Coconut Cake Recipe

3 1/2 cup cake flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup shortening
2 cup sugar
8 egg whites
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
2 fresh coconuts
1/4 cup coconut water
1/3 cup sifted powdered sugar

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease three 9-inch cake pans. Sift flour,
measure and place in sifter, add baking powder, and salt; sift again.
Set aside. Cream shortening until fluffy, add sugar a little at a time
until all is used. Add egg whites one at a time and beat until fluffy.
Add dry ingredients alternately with milk, a little at a time; beginning
and ending with dry ingredients. Add extracts and beat 2 minutes on medium
speed. Divide into prepared pans and bake 25 to 30 minutes.

Grate the fresh coconuts; save the water for brushing cake layers.
Brush cake layers with mixture of the coconut water and powdered sugar.
(Plain coconut water will make a soggy cake!) Stack cake with Boiled
icing.
