- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/3 cups of all-purpose flour*
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- 1 cup pecan pieces (I like to toast pecans for better flavor)
- 1 1/3 cups (3.5 ounces) sweetened coconut
- 5 large egg whites, free of egg yolk traces
- Cream Cheese Frosting
- 2 packages (8 ounces) cream cheese
- 2 sticks or 1 cup unsalted butter, very soft
