and vanilla.

1/2 c coconut evenly over batter in each cake pan. Bake at 350
degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. Let cake layers cool in pans for 10
minutes. Carefully remove cake layers from pans and let cool
completely on wire racks.

Place one cake layer, coconut side down, on a serving plate. Brush

Nut Filling. Top remaining layer coconut side up. Spread White Snow
Frosting on sides and 1" around top edge of cake, leaving center

Cool completely.

bowl. Beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until blended.
