Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Cake:

    • 1 package white cake mix: Use your favorite white cake mix for an easy, light base.
    • 1 cup buttermilk: Adds moisture and richness to the cake.
    • 1/2 cup vegetable oil: Helps keep the cake moist.
    • 4 large egg whites: Lightens the texture of the cake.
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: For a sweet, aromatic flavor.

    For the Frosting:

    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter: The base for the delicious frosting.
    • 1 cup granulated sugar: Sweetens the frosting to perfection.
    • 1 cup evaporated milk: Adds creaminess to the frosting.
    • 3 large egg yolks: Adds richness and thickness to the frosting.
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: For flavor.
    • 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut: Gives the frosting a tropical, chewy texture.
    • 1 cup chopped pecans: Provides crunch and a nutty flavor.

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until smooth and well combined.
  • Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the Cakes: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the Frosting: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, evaporated milk, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Cook while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and turns golden brown (about 10-12 minutes).
  • Add Coconut & Pecans: Remove from heat and stir in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans. Let the frosting cool slightly.
  • Assemble the Cake: Spread the coconut-pecan frosting between the cake layers and on top and sides of the cake. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

For a smoother frosting, allow the frosting to cool slightly before spreading it.

You can refrigerate the cake for a firmer texture if desired.

Garnish with additional coconut or pecans for extra flavor and texture.
