Cream 1 stick of butter or margarine with 1/2 cup of Crisco Oil, 1 tsp. vanilla and 2 Cups of Sugar.

Add 5 egg yolks. Sift 2 cups self-rising flour and add 1 tsp. soda.

Add to butter and egg mixture alternately with 1/2 cup of buttermilk.

Add flour first and add flour last.

Stir in 1 cup nuts and 1 cup coconut.

Fold in 5 beaten egg whites.

Bake at 350 until done. Use 3 pans.

For icing mix 1 - 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature), 1/2 stick margarine, 1 box powdered sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla. If too thick add milk - enough to thin. Spread on cooled cakes and garnish with browned coconut and roasted pecans.
