Add 4 eggs, one at a time; beat after each addition.

Continue beating, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula, until fluffy, about 2 minutes.

At low speed, beat in flour mixture ( in fourths) alternately with milk (in thirds), beginning and ending with flour.

Add vanilla. Beat just until smooth, about 1minute.

Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes.

Remove from pans; cool on racks.

Turn into bowl; cool over ice water. Make frosting: In medium bowl, combine cream and confectioners sugar. Refrigerate ½ hour. Beat until stiff.

Repeat with second layer and rest of filling, place top layer, right side up. Frost with rest of whipped cream; decorate with coconut and lime. Refrigerate.

If you are doing Weight Watcher's, you need to divide this cake into 16 piece and then split one piece with a friend and this will give you 8 1/2 points. lol

I correct the last post on this cake: if you split the 1/16 piece, it will be 6 1/2 points weight watcher's. That isn't bad since you get 49 bonus points a week!
