Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups sifted Swans Down Cake Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Calumet Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup butter or other shortening
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs unbeaten
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 can (1 1/2 cups) Baker’s Coconut Southern Style

Directions
 

  1. Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder and salt, and sift together three times. Cream butter thoroughly, add sugar gradually and cream after each addition. Add flour alternately with milk, a small amount at a time. Beat well after each addition. Add vanilla. Bake in two greased 9-inch layer pans, 25 to 30 minutes in moderate oven (375°F). Spread boiled frosting between layers and on top and side of cake. Sprinkle thickly with coconut while frosting is still soft. Double the recipe for three 10-inch layers.
