Step 1
Whisk together the granulated sugar, cream of tartar, salt, water, and egg whites in a heat-safe basin.
Step 2
Place the basin over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk constantly for 7-8 minutes, or until the frosting is lustrous, viscous, and capable of holding firm peaks. Remove the basin from the heat and add the vanilla extract, stirring to combine.
3. Assemble the Cake:
Step 1
Place one of the cake layers on a serving plate or cake stand after it has set. On top of the cake layer, apply a layer of the 7-minute frosting.
Step 2
The second cake layer should be placed on top of the icing. Apply the remaining 7-minute frosting to the cake’s top and sides. Create decorative patterns and peaks with a spatula.
4. Garnish the Cake: Gently press coconut shreds onto the frosting, enveloping the cake’s top and sides. If desirable, sprinkle toasted coconut shreds on top for additional texture and flavor.
5. Serve with Pleasure: The Coconut Cake with 7-Minute Frosting is now prepared for consumption and distribution. With its delicate coconut flavor and airy buttercream, this cake encapsulates the essence of tropical indulgence. Each morsel is a journey through layers of flavor and texture, making it an exceptional dessert for special occasions or as a delicious escape on a daily basis.
