Cocoanut Cakes II

A historic recipe, as printed in The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book by Fannie Merritt Farmer (1910). Quantities and methods are as written then.

Ovens had no dials: a slow oven is about 300–325°F, moderate 350–375°F, hot 400–450°F. A yeast cake is about 2¼ teaspoons of dry yeast, a square of chocolate is 1 ounce, and bread flour or pastry flour can be replaced with all-purpose flour.

Ingredients

1 lb. fresh grated cocoanut
¾ lb. sugar
Whites 2 eggs

Steps

Cook, shape, and bake same as Cocoanut Cakes I.
