Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with rack in the lower third of oven. Sift together flour and 3/4 cup sugar 4 times.
- Beat egg whites and warm water with a mixer on low speed until foamy, about 3 minutes. Add cream of tartar, vanilla, salt, and coconut extract. Raise speed to medium, and beat until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. With machine running, add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Raise speed to high, and beat until peaks are stiff and glossy, but not dry, about 2 minutes.
- Working in 3 batches, sift flour mixture over egg-white mixture, gently folding in each addition with a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate egg whites.
- Slowly pour batter into a 10-inch angel food cake pan. Gently run a knife through center of batter to release any air bubbles, and smooth using an offset spatula. Bake until cake is golden brown and springs back when touched, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Invert pan onto a wire rack. Let cake cool in pan, about 1 hour. Carefully run a knife around sides of cake to loosen, and turn out onto a large plate or cake stand.
- Pour coconut glaze onto cake, and spread evenly using an offset spatula to cover completely. Gently press coconut onto cake. Let stand until set, about 1 hour. Garnish with lollipops.
CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE I
This is a very quick and simple no bake dessert cake. I've been making it for years without a written recipe. I have also tried it with different flavors such as Coconut/Pineapple. This recipe lends itself well to experimentation. Note: If desired, chopped nuts may be added to the pudding before spreading over cake, or may be sprinkled over the top of the pudding before adding the whipped topping layer.

Tips:
- Use fresh coconut: Fresh coconut meat adds a more intense coconut flavor to the cake. If you don't have fresh coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a water bath: Baking the cake in a water bath helps to keep it moist and prevents it from drying out.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use a cream cheese frosting: Cream cheese frosting is a classic pairing for coconut cake. It's rich, creamy, and tangy, and it perfectly complements the sweetness of the cake.
Conclusion:
Coconut angel pudding cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it classic or with a twist, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give coconut angel pudding cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
