  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3 egg whites
  • 2 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 3 egg yolks

Instructions
1
Heat your oven to a high temperature of three fifty degrees Fahrenheit, or one seventy five degrees Celsius. \nNext, take a nine by thirteen inch baking dish and give it a good coating of butter or cooking spray to prevent the cake from sticking. \nNow, combine two cups of all-purpose flour and one teaspoon of baking powder in a bowl. \nUsing an electric mixer, whip the egg whites until they become light and fluffy, then continue beating them while slowly adding one cup of granulated sugar until stiff peaks have formed. \nAdd the egg yolks to the mixing bowl and gently fold them into the whipped egg whites until well combined. \nGradually add one cup of flour mixture to the bowl, then alternate adding half a cup of orange juice until just combined. \nPour the cake batter into your prepared baking dish and bake it in the preheated oven for approximately forty minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. \nOnce the cake is done, remove it from the oven and use a fork to create holes all over the top of the cake in one inch intervals. \nIn a small bowl, whisk together half a cup of milk, half a cup of coconut milk, and one can of sweetened condensed milk. \nPour the milk mixture evenly over the top of the cake, then sprinkle it with shredded coconut. \nPlace the cake in the refrigerator to chill until cold, approximately three hours later.
