Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cake:
Step 2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 3
Grease two 8" round cake pans, then cut circles of parchment paper to fit the bottoms of them.
Step 4
Press the paper firmly into the pan, squeezing out as many bubbles as possible.
Step 5
Coat the top of the paper with cooking spray.
Step 6
(These cakes really want to stick to the pan. Using paper guarantees that they will fall out after you cut around the sides of the pan.)
Step 7
Cream together the butter, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 8
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
Step 9
Then alternately add the graham crumbs and the milk;
Step 10
Add about one third of the crumbs, about half of the milk, another third of the crumbs, the rest of the milk, and the last of the crumbs.
Step 11
Batter will look funky.
Step 12
Stir in the coconut.
Step 13
Pour into the pans.
Step 14
Bake 15-20 minutes, or until the center springs back when lightly pressed with your fingertip.
Step 15
Wait until the cake is cool before making the filling and icing.
Step 16
Filling:
Step 17
In a small saucepan, whisk together the sugar and sour cream, eliminating all lumps.
Step 18
Add the remaining ingredients.
Step 19
Place over medium-high heat.
Step 20
Cook, stirring constantly, until it boils for 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand until cooled and thickened.
Step 21
Spread the filling onto the bottom cake layer.
Step 22
Let stand for a few minutes so the filling firms up, then put the other cake layer on top.
Step 23
You may need to insert skewers into the cake to keep it from sliding around.
Step 24
Icing:
Step 25
Beat the butter, egg white, salt , and about 3/4 cup powdered sugar until uniform.
Step 26
Gradually add enough powdered sugar to make the icing thick enough to hold a shape, but soft enough to spread thinly.
Step 27
Coat the top and sides of the cake with a thin layer of icing.
