MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
     5 lg Egg whites
 1 2/3 c  Sugar
     1 tb Water
   1/2 ts Cream of tartar
     1 ts Vanilla extract
 2 1/2 c  Unsweetened coconut flakes
          Colored sprinkles; opt

 Place 4 egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room
 temperature 30 minutes. Line bottoms of 3 greased 9-in.
 round baking pans with parchment; grease parchment.

 Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

 Cream butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7
 minutes; beat in extracts. In another bowl, whisk
 together flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed
 mixture alternately with milk.

 With clean beaters, beat the 4 egg whites on medium
 speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/2
 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after
 each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating
 until stiff glossy peaks form. Fold into batter.

 Transfer to prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick
 inserted in center comes out clean, 13-17 minutes. Cool
 in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks; remove
 paper. Cool completely.

 For frosting, in a large heatproof bowl, whisk 5 egg
 whites, sugar, water and cream of tartar until blended.
 Place over simmering water in a large saucepan over
 medium heat; whisking constantly, heat mixture until a
 thermometer reads 160ºF/71ºC, 2-3 minutes. Remove from
 heat; add vanilla. Beat on high speed until stiff glossy
 peaks form, about 7 minutes.

 Spread between layers and over top and sides of cake.
 Cover with coconut. If desired, decorate with sprinkles.
 Store, uncovered, in refrigerator.
