Italian Creme Cake

Cream well:
2 cups sugar
1 stick oleo
½ cup Crisco

Add:
5 egg yolks (1 at a time)
2 cups flour
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. soda
1 cup Angel Flake coconut

Fold in:
5 beaten egg whites

Pour into 3 9" cake pans and bake @ 350° for 35 minutes. Cool well.

Icing (usually I make it times 1 ½):
1 8 oz. cream cheese
1 box confectioners sugar
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts
1 stick oleo
1 tsp. vanilla

Ice only tops of each layer, leaving sides bare as you would a torte. (Melinda's favorite!)
