Cake:
1 1/4 cups coconut water (use some skim milk if there is not enough coconut water)**
3/4 cup diced fresh coconut
2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
2 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. coconut flavored extract

Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
4 tsp. coconut water or skim milk
1 tsp. coconut flavored extract
2 Tbsp. grated fresh coconut

Methods/steps

Place the coconut water and diced coconut in a food processor or blender, and process until the coconut is finely shredded. Set aside.

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda; stir to mix well. Add the coconut mixture, egg whites, vanilla extract and coconut extract; stir to mix well.

Coat a 9"x13" baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the batter evenly in the pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or just until a wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool to room temperature.

To make glaze, combine the glaze ingredients, stirring until smooth. Spread the glaze over the cooled cake. Cut into squares and serve.
