Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Cake:
    • 1 package of white cake mix
    • 1 cup buttermilk
    • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
    • 4 large egg whites
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    For the Coconut-Pecan Frosting:

    • 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

  • Prepare the Cake Batter: Preheat the 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. Use a mixer to beat until smooth and well blended.
    Pour the batter evenly into the two prepared pans.
  • Bake the Cake: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    Let the cakes cool in their pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the Coconut-Pecan Frosting: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
    Add the sugar, evaporated milk, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Stir constantly and cook for 10-12 minutes until the mixture thickens and turns a golden brown.
    Remove from heat and stir in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans. Let the frosting cool slightly.
  • Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are cooled, place one layer on a serving platter.
    Spread the coconut-pecan frosting generously on top, then place the second cake layer on top.
    Continue to frost the entire cake, ensuring the top and sides are evenly covered.
  • Serve: Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can refrigerate the frosting for a bit if it’s too runny before frosting the cake.
  • For a stronger coconut flavor, you can toast the coconut before adding it to the frosting.
