MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
     11 oz Cream cheese; softened
    2/3 c  Butter; softened
  4 1/3 c  Confectioners' sugar
  1 1/4 ts Coconut extract
      2 c  Sweetened shredded coconut;
           - toasted

  Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for
  30 minutes.

  Set oven @ 325°F/165°C.

  In another large bowl, beat sugar, butter, and oil until well
  blended. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each
  addition.

  Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; add to creamed
  mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each
  addition. Stir in coconut and extracts.

  Add cream of tartar to egg whites; with clean beaters, beat on
  medium until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/4th of the egg whites into
  batter, then fold in remaining whites.

  Transfer to 3 greased and floured 9" round baking pans. Bake 25 to
  30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool
  completely.

  For frosting, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until
  fluffy. Add confectioners' sugar and extract; beat until smooth.

  Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; spread with 1/2 cup frosting
  and sprinkle with 1/3 cup coconut. Repeat. Top with remaining cake
  layer. Spread remaining frosting over top and side of cake;
  sprinkle with remaining 1 cup coconut. Refrigerate for 2 hours
  before cutting. Store in the refrigerator.
