3 eggs (whites and yolks separate) 2 tablespoons margarine

2 cups sugar 1 cup milk

Beat the egg whites until stiff and set aside. Separately, beat the margarine, sugar and egg yolks until it becomes a whitish cream. Add the milk, flour, and baking powder, beating with each addition.

Remove from the mixer and gently mix in the coconut and the beaten egg whites. Pour into a greased and floured 22-cm diameter hole-in-the-middle cake pan and bake in a preheated, medium oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
