Nearly 70 years ago, the Sandia Base Woman's Club released a fantastic collection of recipes cleverly titled "Eatomic Secrets" (kudos to Marie Bomba!). The Pineapple Coconut Chiffon Cake is now on my 'must try' list.
Pineapple Chiffon Cake
2-1/4 cups flour
1 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup oil
5 egg yolks
3/4 cup pineapple juice
8 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup shredded coconut
crushed pineapple
whipped cream
Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and add oil, egg yolks and pineapple juice which have been combined. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar very stiff and slowly add sugar. Combine mixtures and fold in coconut. Bake in ungreased tube pan 1 hour at 325 degrees F. Serve with crushed pineapple folded into whipped cream.
