2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 eggs, separated

2 cups flaked coconut
1 cup finely chopped pecans

I'm not a fan of nuts, so I omitted the pecans from the frosting. The cake was still delicious.
