Coconut Angel Food Cake
Cake:
3/4 cup Cake flour
8 large Egg whites
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Cream of tartar
1 cup Superfine sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1/2 tsp Almond extract
1/2 cup Coconut, shredded (unsweeten
-d)
Frosting:
1 1/4 cup Sugar
2 large Egg whites
1 tsp Orange zest, grated
1/4 cup Orange juice, strained
1 tbsp Corn syrup
1 cup Coconut, shredded and toaste
- (unsweetened)
Onto a sheet of wax paper, sift the flour 3 times. In a large bowl
with an electric mixer, beat the egg whites with the salt until they
are frothy. Add the cream of tartar and beat to soft peaks. Beat in
1/2 cup sugar, a little at a time. Add the vanilla and almond
extract, and beat the whites to stiff peaks. Fold in the remaining
1/2 cup sugar, a little at a time. Sift the flour over the whites in
4 batches, folding it in gently after each sifting. Fold in the
coconut.
Spoon batter into a 9-inch tube pan, 3 1/2-inches deep. Bake in the
middle of a preheated 275f oven for
1 1/2 hours.
Hang the cake in the pan, upside down, on the neck of a bottle and
let it cool for 90-120 minutes or until cooled completely. Release
the cake with a sharp knife, turn it out on a rack and invert it onto
a cake plate.
In a metal bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg whites, zest, juice,
corn syrup, and a pinch of salt. Set the bowl over simmering water,
and cook, whisking, until it registers 140f on a candy thermometer.
Remove pan from heat and whisk the mixture over the hot water for 3
minutes. Remove the bowl from the water and, with an electric mixer,
beat the frosting at high speed for 7-10 minutes or until it is cool
and holds stiff peaks.
Spread top and sides of the cake with the frosting and coat the
outside with the toasted coconut.

Dieting made easy
If you enjoy your food, but need to regain your youthful figure and also develop your general shape, then you need to decide on a carefully configured balanced weight loss system. In theory, this should incorporate five measures of fruit and vegetables each day and embrace a sensible blend of nutrients.
When people first start dieting, they most certainly become obsessed with food store and brand name foods labelled 'low in fat'. This is usually a miscalculation, insofar as a food product can be lowered in fats, but whilst still remaining much too high in carbohydrates.
In deciding on a nutrition system, it is important to try to moderate your consumption of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.
