White German Chocolate Cake with a Cheesecake Center ❤️🍰🔥
Ingredients:
Cheesecake Center:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
White German Chocolate Cake:
1 box white cake mix
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Coconut-Pecan Topping:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
Prepare the Cheesecake Center:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Set aside.
Make the White German Chocolate Cake:
In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix, buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared cake pans.
Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the batter, spreading it out evenly.
Pour the remaining cake batter over the cheesecake layer in both pans.
Bake the Cake:
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Coconut-Pecan Topping:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the evaporated milk, granulated sugar, and egg yolks, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans.
Let the topping cool until it's thick enough to spread.
Assemble the Cake:
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the coconut-pecan topping over the top.
Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining topping over the top.
Serve:
Slice and enjoy your White German Chocolate Cake with a Cheesecake Center! ❤️🥮
