• Next, add all-purpose flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt.
• Once everything is well combined, fold in egg whites.
• In a greased tube pan that has a removable bottom, pour in half of the cake mix. Add coconut and egg white mixture and layer using a spoon. Pour in the rest of the cake batter and level.
• Place the tube pan in a preheated oven for about50 minutes at 350-degree F.
