Coconut Marshmallow Cake

3 eggs
1 cup sugar
4 tablespoons milk or water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 cups pastry flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder

Beat the eggs and sugar together until very light. Add the milk or water, the flavoring, then the flour, salt, and baking powder which have been sifted together twice.

Bake in greased pans at 360 – 375 degrees for 12 – 15 minutes. When cold, fill and frost with coconut marshmallow frosting.

Coconut Marshmallow Frosting

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup marshmallow creme
2/3 cup coconut

Boil the sugar and water until it threads. If using a thermometer, cook to 230 degrees. Add the marshmallow creme and beat until thick enough to spread.

Use 1/3 of the frosting to make a thick filling between the layers of cake. Use the remainder to frost the top and sides. Sprinkle thickly with grated coconut as soon as the cake is frosted.
