1/2 cup shortening
8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened

Beat butter, shortening, and cream cheese at medium
speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes or until

salt; add to butter mixture, beating at low speed just
until blended. Stir in coconut, vanilla, and coconut

10-inch tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 30
to 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the
center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in pan on a
wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes; remove from pan and cool
