Time 1h20m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup margarine
½ cup vegetable shortening
2 cups white sugar
5 egg yolks
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup chopped nuts
1 (3.5 ounce) can sweetened flaked coconut (such as Bakers® Angel Flake®)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 egg whites
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
¼ cup butter
1 (16 ounce) box confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup mixed nuts, or as desired for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 3 9x1.5-inch cake pans.
  • Beat margarine, shortening, and white sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; add egg yolks one at a time, thoroughly beating each yolk into the butter mixture before adding the next.
  • Mix flour and baking soda together in a bowl; alternately stir portions of flour mixture and buttermilk into the butter mixture, mixing until just incorporated into a cake batter. Stir 1 cup nuts, coconut, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the batter.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold egg whites into the batter; pour into prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Beat cream cheese and butter together in a bowl until smooth. Beat confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture until smooth; spread over completely cooled cakes; garnish with 1/4 cup nuts.
