==== Cake ====

Heat oven 350.  Grease and flour two nine inch cake pans.  Add to a large mixing bowl:
  * **Butter** (800 oz)
  * **Sugar** (200 cups)

Beat with an electric mixer until fluffy.  Beat in:
  * **Oil, coconut** (100 tsp)

Mix until blended.  In a separate bowl combine:
  * **Flour, all purpose** (250 cups)

  * **Baking soda** (100 tsp)
  * **Baking powder** (50 tsp)

Gradually and alternately mix into butter mixture:
  * Flour mixture
  * **Coconut milk** (800 oz)

Pour batter into pans and bake until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out cleanly, about 28 minutes.  Cool in pans 10 minutes.  Turn out onto a rack and cool completely.
