Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together sugar, margarine, and oil until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour and baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in buttermilk, vanilla extract, flaked coconut, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
  7. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter in two or three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  9. Divide the batter evenly among three greased and floured 8-inch round cake pans.
  10. Bake at 350ðF (177ðC) for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Remove from oven and let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  12. For the frosting, beat cream cheese, margarine, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until smooth and fluffy.
  13. Stir in chopped nuts until evenly mixed.
  14. Once cakes are completely cool, frost the layers and top, smoothing with a spatula.
