VANILLA-PECAN COCONUT TORTE
This is a dramatic and beautiful dessert. I make this when I am invited over to someone's house for a special meal. I take Hersheys Chocolate in a Squeeze bottle and decorate it well just before serving. I also decorate the pedestal just a bit with icing to make it look extra pretty. The Torte is divine. I never have any...

Steps:
- 1. Make vanilla cake mix according to directions. Instead of using whole eggs, I like to lighten it up by using 3 egg whites. I pour batter into 2 (two )greased and floured fluted-edge cake pans and bake as directed. Allow to cool. While oven is on, but after you have removed cake, take a baking sheet and spray with vegetable oil and spread 1 Cup of the coconut on it. It will stick together so make sure you spread it out. Put into oven and just as it starts to turn brown on the edges, pull it out and let cool. On another sheet, spray and spread out 3/4 C Pecans and bake for about 10 minutes, just to release flavor. Remove and cool.
- 2. While cake is baking I make a buttercream frosting. Use a large bowl for this. Put into bowl crisco and butter. Add 1/2 bag powdered sugar. Add vanilla. Mix and add a tad of milk to bring frosting together. Mix thoroughly. If you think you will need more icing, add more powdered sugar and add milk again as needed. Refrigerate mixture.
- 3. Remove frosting mixture from fridge 1/2 hr before you are ready to frost cake, and let stand at room temperature. In the mean time, take your baked coconut and mix in a bowl with another 1/4 C coconut that has not been baked, stir together well. In another bowl, take your baked pecans and add another 1/4 C pecans to it and mix together. Turn out your cakes.
- 4. Now we are ready to assemble the cake and decorate. Take a cake pedestal and put about a Tablespoon of frosting in the middle to hold down your cake, then put down your first layer of cake. Add some frosting to the top of it and spread.Do not frost the sides. Add half the mixture of pecans on the top, then add 1/2 the mixture of coconut on top of that. Put your second layer on top of the first one. Do not push down on it. Add frosting to the second layer and spread out. Repeat with pecans and coconut. If you have a few pecans left, stick them around the middle layers where frosting oozes out. Right before serving you can take some Hershey's Syrup and drizzle over top of cake in a back and forth motion. The picture does not show this, because I do it right before serving. Add a dab of whipped cream and enjoy!
CHOCOLATE & COCONUT CREAM TORTE
My grandmother passed this recipe down to me years ago and now I make it for my own grandchildren. When preparing, make sure the chocolate layer is properly chilled before adding the next layer, or the coconut will sink into it. -Jason Purkey, Ocean City, Maryland

COCONUT PECAN TORTE
From General Foods Corporation, publication year 1963. An elegant dessert; layers of ladyfingers and extra rich pudding buttercream. This is not the usual torte, it is more like a charlotte. The rich filling is a cooked pudding buttercream reminiscent of the classic French buttercream that uses whipped eggs cooked with a hot sugar syrup; & once cooled butter is whipped in. This recipe is almost no cook. The only cooking is the cooking of the pudding. Everything else is assembly and chilling time. You can use any brand ingredients (even store brands). This is a brand name publication so it calls for it's own brands. The buttercream is so good you could even use it to frost a cake. Double or triple the buttercream for a cake if you wish. You could use different flavors of pudding, leave out the coconut and pecans and make any number of buttercream flavors (chocolate, butterscotch, etc.) to frost any cake. This cake would have to be stored in the refrigerator, and brought to room temperature to serve. I use aluminum foil to line the pan, not waxed paper, too difficult to work with. And I do not use Dream Whip. I toast the pecans before chopping. One cup of heavy whipping cream, whipped is what I use to garnish the torte. And I use half a vanilla bean & not the almond extract.

Steps:
- Prepare Jello Pudding as directed on package, using only 1 1/2 cups milk. Remove from heat. Cover surface with plastic wrap and cool. Line an 8-inch square dish or pan with several layers of wax paper, allowing paper to extend as 2-inch tabs above edge of dish.
- Line bottom and sides of dish with some ladyfingers. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons orange juice.
- Cream butter until light and fluffy. Alternately add sugar and cooled pudding; then add almond extract, pecans, and coconut.
- Spread about a third of mixture on ladyfingers. Arrange half of remaining ladyfingers on mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon orange juice. Top with another layer of pudding mixture. Add remaining ladyfingers, orange juice, and pudding mixture in that order. Top layer should be pudding. Chill thoroughly, at least 4 hours. Grasp paper tabs to remove from dish. Lift onto serving platter; slide wax paper from underneath. Garnish with prepared Dream Whip, if desired. Makes 12 large or 18 small servings.
- Note: The 12 to 18 servings is as the recipe is written. I have found that 9 servings from an 8-in pan is what I like to serve. Four hours cooking time is actually chilling time.
