Take out two bowls - one for the dry ingredients, and another for the milk and vanilla. In the bigger bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, nuts and coconut. In the smaller bowl add the vanilla to the buttermilk. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk ingredients to the egg/butter/sugar you creamed together. Fold in the egg whites. Pour the batter into your prepared pans. Bake for about 20 - 25 minutes. FROSTING: Beat together all the ingredients. Set the orange marmalade in a cup or pitcher so you can pour it out slowly. MAKE SURE your cake has cooled. For the middle layer drizzle orange marmalade OVER the frosting. If you want to drizzle it on top - try warming it first, to avoid a lumpy appearance.
