Preparation
Step 1
Make the cake as directed and once it has cooled use a fork, or the end of a wooden spoon, to poke the cake about every inch.
Mix the Jell-O with the boiling water and then add the cold water. Pour over the cake and cool for at least 3 hours.
The icing is a basic 7 minute recipe, to make it put the sugar, 1/3 cup of water, and baking powder in a small saucepan and cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes bubbly. Be sure to stir it constantly.
In a mixing bowl combine the egg whites and vanilla. Slowly add the sugar/water mixture while beating on high speed for seven minutes. The icing should be light, fluffy and taste like a cross between a true meringue and marshmallow fluff.
Ice the cake and top with the toasted coconut.
