3 eggs, separated
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp baking powder

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 8 inch cake pans and dust the inside with flour and tap out excess. Line the bottom of the pans with wax or parchment paper. Put the cake pans on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Cream butter, shortening, and sugar until fluffy. Add egg yolks and mix until smooth. Sift dry ingredients together. Add to creamed mixture and alternate with milk; ending with the dry ingredients. Add vanilla.

Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry; gently fold into mixture. Pour batter into the prepared cake pans and bake about 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.

Cool for several minutes and remove from pans. Fill and frost. After frosting, sprinkle fresh grated coconut on top and press up sides of cake.

While it is boiling, beat egg whites until stiff. Add half of hot syrup slowly to the egg whites while beating. Let other half of syrup continue to cook until very bubbly, about two more minutes. Add slowly to egg whites while beating continuously. Add marshmallows and vanilla.

Here's another moist cake recipe that also substitutes as a homemade cake mix. You can store in the pantry for months. It makes a moist and chocolaty dark cake.

CAKE BALLS - WONDERFUL MOIST CAKE RECIPE

2 cups flour
1-3/4 cups white sugar
1 cup cocoa
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 TBS shortening

1-1/3 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs

3 oz semi-sweet chocolate

Sift flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a mixing bowl. Blend the shortening into the dry ingredients on medium, until there are no chunks.

NOTE:
At this point in the recipe you can place the above mixture in a tightly secured container and store like a "cake mix." It keeps for several months. You just add the water, oil and eggs and bake.

PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 9 inch cake pans and dust the inside with flour and tap out excess. Line the bottom of the pans with wax or parchment paper. Put the cake pans on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Blend the dry cake mix with the water, oil and eggs on low until just combined. Then beat on medium speed for two minutes and pour into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

9x13 pan takes 35-38 minutes
cupcakes take 19-22 minutes

When the cake cool, crumble it into a large mixing bowl with the frosting and mix. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 3 hours. On a cookie sheet lined with wax, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls and put into the freezer for one hour. Melt the chocolate. Dip the balls in chocolate using a toothpick or fork to hold them. Place on waxed paper to set.

Following is the frosting I use for this awesome moist cake recipe.

RICH CHOCOLATE FROSTING

1 cup butter or homemade unsalted butter, softened (no substitutes)
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1-1/4 cups baking cocoa
2 tsp pure homemade vanilla extract
1/4 to 1/2 cup homemade evaporated milk

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Slowly add the powdered sugar, cocoa and vanilla and beat well. Begin with 1/4 cup of evaporated milk for the desired spreading consistency; adding more if needed.
