Combine sugar, water, egg whites, cream of tartar and salt in top of double boiler. Beat with electric mixer until blended. Place over rapidly boiling water. Beat constantly, 7 to 10 minutes, or until frosting holds a peak. Remove from heat; add vanilla, continue beating until frosting is cool and of spreading consistency.

NOTE: I put layer of lemon filling, then a layer of white frosting and sprinkle with coconut between the layers of the cake. You may have to put some toothpicks in cake because it is pretty tall.

May I suggest coconut cooking oil instead of Crisco? It is much better for you and doesn't support bad shortening practices of big companies.(ie pesticided oils that are hydrogenated or other lovely things)I can get organic coconut oil that is local from Spectrum oils which is twenty minutes from Santa Rosa. Most cocnuts are not sprayed or grown with bad for the environment fertilizers.
