1 1/2 cup sugar
1 cup cake flour
12 egg whites
1 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon key lime juice
Filling and Frosting
2 eggs

3 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons key lime juice
2 teaspoons grated key lime peel
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

directions
For Cake: Sift together half the sugar and the flour three times and set aside.
Beat egg whites until frothy, then add salt and cream of tartar. Beat until it stands in peaks.
Add the remaining sugar, about 3 tbsp. at a time, beating well with mixer each time after adding the sugar. Lightly fold in the sugar-flour mixture, adding about 1/2 cup at a time. Add Key lime juice.
Bake in ungreased tube pan at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes. Cool.
For Filling and Frosting: In double boiler, beat eggs and yolks. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar, Key lime juice and peel. Whisk in butter. Cook until thick. Strain, refrigerate until cold.
Horizontally split cake in three layers with a long serrated knife. Put some filling between each layer and then spread tops and sides with remaining frosting. Sprinkle with coconut.

Sarah... I was faced with the same question! I would whip the cream, adding the vanilla until soft peaks form and fold it into the cooked lime mixture; then frost the cake, etc. Tips: I used a box angel food and 8 oz. low-fat refrigerated whipped topping to cut steps and it turned out great.
I would like to know what I'm supposed to do with the whipping cream.
