How To Make silver white cake

1
Heat oven to 350. Grease and flour rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches, or 2 round pans, 8 or 9x1 1/2 inches. Beat flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, shortening, milk, and vanilla in large mixer bowl on low speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 2 minutes. Add egg whites; beat on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 2 minutes. Pour into pan(s).

2
Bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, rectangular 40-45 minutes, layer 30-35 minutes. Cool layers 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely. Fill layers with Lemon Filling. Frost cake with White Mountain Frosting; sprinkle with coconut. *If using self rising flour, omit baking powder and salt. Do not use 8 inch layers.
3
For Lemon Filling: Mix sugar, cornstarch, and salt in saucepan. Stir in water gradually. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add lemon peel and butter. Stir in lemon juice and food color; cool. If filling is too soft, refrigerate until set.
4
For White Mountain Frosting: Mix sugar, corn syrup, and water in saucepan. Cover; heat to rolling boil over medium heat. Remove cover and boil rapidly to 242 on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a firm ball that holds its shape until pressed. As mixture boils, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Pour hot syrup very slowly in a thin stream into egg whites, beating constantly on medium speed. Add vanilla; beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.
