- In a bowl beat egg whites until stiff and set aside
- In another mixing bowl, beat butter sugar, yokes, brandy and vanilla extract until well blended
- Slowly add the flour and milk, alternate little by little while beating
- Once blended, fold egg whites into batter. Very important DO NOT beat or mix the egg whites in. Gently fold them in until blended.
- Put mixture into cake mold and gently pick up and drop the mold on the counter to get excess air out
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes depending on your molds. DO NOT open oven door until about 20 minutes.
- Let cool off until warm enough that you can touch it, but not cold. With a skewer poke holes throughout the cakes
- Slowly pour your coquito over the cake. Make sure to use all three cups. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes
- While your cake is cooling and absorbing the coquito, make your frosting.
- Combine whipping cream, coconut extract and powdered sugar in a bowl and whip until stiff
