Set aside. Cream shortening until fluffy, add sugar a little at a time
until all is used. Add egg whites one at a time and beat until fluffy.
Add dry ingredients alternately with milk, a little at a time; beginning
and ending with dry ingredients. Add extracts and beat 2 minutes on medium
speed. Divide into prepared pans and bake 25 to 30 minutes.

Grate the fresh coconuts; save the water for brushing cake layers.
Brush cake layers with mixture of the coconut water and powdered sugar.
(Plain coconut water will make a soggy cake!) Stack cake with Boiled
icing.
