Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs, separated
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp lemon extract
filling:
2 cups sweetened applesauce
3 medium firm bananas, sliced
3 tbsp lemon juice
frosting:
1 cup sugar
2 egg whites
3 tbsp water
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup flaked coconut, toasted

Directions:

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk. Beat in extracts. Combine flour and baking powder; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
In a small bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form; gently fold into batter. Pour into three greased 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
Divide applesauce and spread over two cake layers. Dip bananas in lemon juice; arrange over applesauce. Stack on serving plate with plain layer on top.
For frosting, in a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, egg whites, water, cream of tartar and salt over low heat. With a hand mixer, beat on low speed for 1 minute. Continue beating on low over low heat until frosting reaches 160°, about 8-10 minutes.
Pour into a large bowl; add vanilla. Beat on high until stiff peaks form, about 7 minutes. Frost sides and top of cake. Sprinkle with coconut. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 16-20 servings.
