Ingredients:
3 cups sifted confectioners sugar
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
5 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon milk
1 1/2 cups toasted coconut


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour Wilton 9 x 13 in. Sheet Pan. Mix flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk oil, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Add sugar, pineapple and coconut; mix well. Stir in flour mixture. Pour into prepared pan. Bake on center rack for 30-35 minutes or until an inserted cake tester comes out clean. Cool.

In a small bowl, combine all frosting ingredients. Beat until smooth. Spread over cooled cake. Garnish with toasted coconut if desired. To toast coconut, spread 1 1/2 cups coconut on a cookie sheet, toast in a preheated 350°F oven for 3-5 minutes. Watch closely; coconut burns easily. This amount of frosting (2 1/3 cups) will ice the top with a thin layer. Double amount of frosting if you wish to garnish with border or have a thicker layer of icing on cake. Pipe tip #10 bead border after adding toasted coconut.

Makes 16 servings.
