Mountain Cocoanut Cake

Take one cup of butter; two cups of sugar; four cups of flour; one-half cup of milk; whites of fourteen eggs; two teaspoons of baking powder. Mix in the usual way and bake in layers. Grate three cocoanuts. Make the icing out of the whites of three eggs, well beaten, two cups of sugar, and the meat and milk of two of the cocoanuts. After the layers of cake have been put together, sift all over the cake the grated meat of the other cocoanut. This cake should be eaten the same day it is made, as, in warm weather, the milk from the cocoanuts will sour.
