Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. With a fine sieve, sift together flour and 3/4 cups sugar four times.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed, beat together egg whites and water until foamy. Add salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla; beat until soft peaks form. Increase speed to medium-high and sprinkle in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until stiff but not dry.
- Transfer to a large bowl. In six additions, sift dry ingredients over meringue, folding in quickly but gently.
- Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan with removable bottom. Smooth top with an offset spatula. Run a knife through batter to release air bubbles. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and springy to touch.
- Invert pan on its legs or over the neck of a glass bottle, and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Make the frosting: In the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer set over a saucepan of simmering water, combine egg whites, sugar, water, and cream of tartar. Cook over medium heat, whisking frequently, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Attach the bowl to a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat the mixture on high speed until glossy and voluminous, about 7 minutes. Beat in the vanilla.
- Carefully run a long offset spatula or knife around the inner and outer perimeter of the cake pan to release cake.
- Place on a plate, bottom side up. Using a long serrated knife, carefully slice off 1 1/2 inches from the top of the cake, being sure not to break the layer. Set aside. Cut out a 1-inch-wide, 1-inch-deep channel halfway between the center and edge of cake. Spread icing into channel and over entire layer. Sprinkle with coconut.
- Gently place reserved layer on top and ice with remaining frosting. Sprinkle with coconut and serve immediately.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes. Gently remove the egg whites from the mixer to a medium bowl and set aside.
- Combine the sugar and butter in the bowl of the mixer and cream together, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and whip an additional 30 seconds to incorporate.
- In another medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder and fine salt. With the mixer on low speed, pour half the coconut milk into the butter and sugar mixture. Turn the mixer off and add half the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are just incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Repeat this process with the remaining coconut milk and dry ingredients.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter. Pour the batter into the greased baking dish. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- For the coconut syrup: Place the coconut water and honey in a microwave-safe container. Microwave until the honey is dissolved, about 1 minute. Poke the surface of the cake with the tines of a fork. Brush the cake with the warm syrup. Sprinkle the flaked coconut evenly over the cake.
- For the frosting: Place the sugar and coconut water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Let boil for 2 minutes before you add it to the egg whites (see below).
- Meanwhile, place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract. Reduce the speed to the lowest setting and slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites. Continue to drizzle until all the syrup has been added. Then, turn the mixer up to high speed and whip until the frosting becomes thick, glossy and holds stiff peaks, about 3 minutes more. The frosting should be used to decorate the cake immediately.
- Scrape the frosting onto the center of the cake in a large mound. Push outward with an offset spatula, spreading the frosting over the surface of the cake and making cloudlike swirls to cover completely.

COCONUT SNOW CLOUDS
Cloud cake is the perfect name for this lighter than air recipe. It tastes as though it needs a weight attached to the plate to keep it from floating off the table. Unlike a pavlova, this layered dessert is made with a soft, spongey meringue and layered like a small cake with rum-spiked whipped cream. Flakes of barely toasted coconut give it a snowball effect. I love it served with fresh fruit as well. But served simply by itself, it's a lovely and unexpected way to end a dinner.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a rimless baking sheet. Draw four 5-inch circles in pencil on the sheet. This will be your guide for forming the meringues.
- Place the egg whites in a large bowl and whisk on high speed with a handheld electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar, scrape down sides of the bowl, and beat until thickened and the sugar has dissolved, 8 minutes.
- Place the cornstarch, vinegar and salt in a small bowl and mix to combine. Add the cornstarch mixture to the meringue and continue beating for 2 minutes. Fold in the coconut. The mixture should be very stiff. Spoon the meringue into each of the circles on the parchment paper, about 2 inches high, and smooth the tops as flat as you can get them.
- Bake the circles until the tops are dry to the touch and barely golden brown at the edges, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before assembling, about 20 minutes.
- For the rum coconut cream: Beat the cream in a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and continue beating until it holds stiff peaks.
- Open the can of chilled coconut and scoop the white solid coconut fat out into a separate large bowl, leaving the clear coconut water in the can; set the coconut water aside. Add the rum and vanilla scrapings to the bowl with the coconut fat and whip until smooth and stiff. Add coconut water 1 tablespoon at a time until you get a smooth texture.
- Fold the whipped cream and coconut cream together with a rubber spatula. Whip the two again for 1 minute if it needs to be stiffer.
- No more than an hour before serving, assemble the cakes: Place 2 meringue circle on a cake stand, platter or 2 plates. Spoon 1/3 cup of the coconut cream over each the meringue. Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes. Top each with the remaining meringue circles and coconut cream, spreading the coconut cream over the sides of the cakes. Sprinkle all over with toasted coconut flakes. Serve immediately or keep well chilled for up to an hour.
