    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup cake flour
1 1/2 cups egg whites (11 or 12)
1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp Key lime juice

Sift together 3/4 cup of the sugar and the flour three times and set aside. Beat egg whites until frothy, then add salt and cream of tartar. Beat until it stands in peaks. Add the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar, about 3 tbsp at a time, beating well with mixer each time after adding the sugar. Lightly fold in the sugar-flour mixture, adding about 1/2 cup at a time. Add Key lime juice. Bake in ungreased tube pan at 350 for 35-40 minutes. Cool.

Filling and Frosting
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup plus 3 tbsp sugar, divided
6 tbsp Key lime juice
2 tsp grated key lime peel
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup flaked coconut, toasted

In double boiler, beat eggs and yolks. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar, Key lime juice and peel. Whisk in butter. Cook until thick. Strain, refrigerate until cold. Horizontally split cake in three layers with a long serrated knife. Put some filling between each layer and then spread tops and sides with remaining frosting. Sprinkle with coconut.
