Bake in a well greased floured pan 9 x 13 inch for 45-50 minutes at 350 degrees.
Brown Sugar Meringue: Just before cake is done, beat 2 egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar until stiff. Gradually beat in 1 cup brown sugar. Spread on cake the minute it comes out of oven. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped nuts and coconut. Place the cake (still in pan) on a wet board in a hot oven (450 degrees) until butter is lightly browned, about 7 minutes.
