Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat three 9-inch pans with nonstick cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl cream the margarine and oil. Gradually add the sugar and
beat until light and fluffy. Add the 2 egg yolks, one at a time, beating well
after each addition.
Mix the flour, cocoa, and baking soda together. Add the flour to the sugar
mixture, alternating with the buttermilk and ending with the flour. Beat after
each addition. Add the vanilla, butter, and coconut extracts and the pecans.
In a mixing bowl, beat all 6 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the
beaten egg whites into the batter mixture. Pour the batter evenly into the cake
pans. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops spring back when touched. Cool
the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto racks to cool
thoroughly.
Prepare the icing: in mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and margarine until
smooth. Mix together a little powdered sugar with cocoa and cinnamon and add to
cream cheese mixture. Gradually add remaining powdered sugar beating until
light. Blend in the vanilla. Frost the layers and sides of the cake with Cream
Cheese Icing.
