Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick vegetable spray. In a small bowl, combine coconut, water, and chocolate, mixing well; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. In a small bowl, combine milk and vanilla; add alternately with flour to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff; fold into the batter.
Pour half the batter into prepared springform pan; spoon half the coconut mixture by teaspoonfuls onto the batter. With a knife, gently swirl to marble. Repeat with remaining batter and coconut mixture.
Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on a wire rack. Spread Chocolate Fudge Frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
