Coconut Chiffon Cake image

This is an old recipe from my mother's collection. If you love coconut, you'll love this cake! It's delicious! I just entered it (Aug. '07) in our county fair, and I got a 2nd place ribbon!

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup egg white (6 - 7 large)
2 cups sifted cake flour (sift before measuring)

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I thought this cake was really good. The coconut flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover coconut milk. It's also a great make-ahead dessert. I like to make it the night before and then let it chill in the fridge overnight.
