cookbook "What Hawaii Likes to Eat".
3 eggs, separated*My own addition to the recipe:
1-1/2 cups sugar
1-1/2 cups cake flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup milk
» Frosting:
1-1/2 cups water
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup water
Semi-sweet choclate baking square. (Bakers brand is my favorite)
Or use reserved cake crumbs to dust the sides of the cake.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 8-inch pans.
Beat egg whites until frothy; gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar until stiff.
Sift together remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa. Make a well in center; add oil and half of milk. Beat until well-blended at medium speed. Add remaining milk and egg yolks; beat until smooth.
Fold mixture into egg whites. Pour batter into pans and bake 30 to 35 minutes. Cool, then slice each layer in half to make 4 layers.
To prepare frosting: Combine water, sugar, salt and butter in saucepan and bring to boil. Combine cocoa, cornstarch and water; add to boiling mixture and return to boil. Cool completely. Frost between cooled layers, sides and top.
Dust the sides with cake crumbs or shaved chocolate.
How to shave chocolate: Place square or bar of semisweet chocolate on cutting board; shave it into small pieces with paring knife.

Is the sugar in the frosting granulated white sugar or powdered sugar? I'm so used to makeing buttercream with powdered sugar and want to make sure before I dive into this new cake recipe. Thanks in advance!
