Description
The Snowy Bavarian Bliss Cake is a decadent dessert with rich coconut, pecans, and a golden-brown frosting over soft, fluffy cake layers. It’s perfect for any celebration or as an indulgent treat.
Ingredients
1 package white cake mix
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
3 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, evaporated milk, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and turns a golden-brown color, about 10-12 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans. Allow the frosting to cool slightly before spreading it over the cooled cake layers.
- Assemble the cake by spreading the coconut-pecan frosting between the layers, then over the top and sides of the cake.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy this indulgent White German Chocolate Cake!
Notes
- Chocolate Cake Base: For a richer version, use a chocolate cake mix instead of the white cake mix. The frosting will still pair wonderfully with the chocolate flavor.
- Nuts: If you don’t like pecans, substitute them with walnuts or almonds for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Frosting Adjustments: If you’re not a fan of coconut, reduce the amount of shredded coconut or omit it entirely for a more traditional frosting.
- Storage: Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you need to store it for longer, refrigerate the cake for up to a week.
- Reheating: If you prefer your cake warm, microwave individual slices for 15-20 seconds, or reheat the entire cake in a low oven (about 250°F) for 10-15 minutes.
