t cannot be obtained try soaking the shredded cocoanut in
warm milk and steaming it an hour or two before using and then squeeze
it dry. This will make it more moist. If you have only one angel cake
tin, split the cake through the center after it is cold and put the

SUNSHINE CAKE.--Whites of ten eggs, yolks of six, one level teaspoonful
of cream of tartar, one and one half cupfuls of sugar, sifted, one
cupful of flour, sifted twice, the grated peel of one orange or one
teaspoonful of lemon or vanilla or one half teaspoon of almond extract.
Beat whites very stiff, then beat in one half of the sugar, beat yolks
light about ten minutes, add the flavoring and balance of the sugar and
beat five minutes. Mix yolks and whites lightly together and cut in the
flour that has been sifted with the cream of tartar. Bake in an
ungreased, funnel angel cake tin about an hour in a slow oven or 45
minutes in a moderate oven. Avoid baking too long as it makes the cake
dry and coarse. When the cake shrinks from the tin at sides of the pan

frosted cake is preferred ice it with white boiled icing.--Mrs.
Whitehead.
