Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into batter. Pour into three 9-inch layer pans, lined on bottoms with waxed paper. Bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly pressed in center. Cool 15 minutes; remove from pans, finish cooling on racks. Spread Coconut-Pecan Frosting between layers and over top of cake.
