Almond Glaze;
11/4 Cups confectioners sugar,sifted
1 to 2 Tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
1. Prepare the filling:Separate the eggs,placing the whites in a medium bowl and the egg yolks in a large mixing bowl.Set the yolks aside.Add the almond extract to the egg whites and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until frothy,30 seconds.Gradually add the sugar while beating at high speed until soft peaks form,1 to 1 1/2minutes.Fold in the coconut and flour until just incorporated.Set the bowl aside while you prepare the cake.
2. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degress.Lightly mist a 12 cup Bundt pan with vegetable oil spray,then dust with flour.Shake out the excess flour.Set the pan aside.
3. Place the cake mix in the bowl with the reserved egg yolks.Add the whole egg,water,and oil.Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds.Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more,scraping the sides down again if needed.The batter should look thick and well combined
