Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 package white cake mix
- 1 package (4 oz) white chocolate, melted and cooled
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Frosting:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Directions
Prepare the Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans, then set them aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, melted white chocolate, buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until the batter is smooth and well combined. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Make the Frosting
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the coconut-pecan frosting. In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, and egg yolks. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble, about 10-12 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans. Let the frosting cool to room temperature before spreading it on the cake.
Assemble the Cake
Place one of the cooled cake layers on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous amount of the coconut-pecan frosting over the top of the cake. Repeat with the second and third layers, spreading the frosting evenly over each layer and on top of the cake. You can leave the sides of the cake exposed for a classic German chocolate cake look, or frost the sides as well if you prefer.
Serve and Enjoy
This White German Chocolate Cake is best served at room temperature, allowing the flavors and textures to fully shine. Slice the cake and serve it to your guests, who are sure to be wowed by its rich, indulgent taste and beautiful presentation.
Tips
- White Chocolate: Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor. Be sure to melt it gently and allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the cake batter.
- Coconut-Pecan Frosting: Make sure to stir the frosting constantly while cooking to prevent the eggs from curdling and to achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
- Cake Storage: This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate the cake, but allow it to come to room temperature before serving to enhance the flavors.
- Decoration Ideas: For an extra touch of elegance, garnish the cake with white chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of toasted coconut on top.
This White German Chocolate Cake is a stunning and delicious dessert that’s sure to become a new favorite. With its rich white chocolate base and classic coconut-pecan frosting, it’s a cake that’s perfect for celebrations or whenever you want to indulge in something truly special. Enjoy!
