Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

1 package 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

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, ensuring an even coating for easy release later.
  2. Prepare the Cake Batter:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for about 2–3 minutes, until the mixture is smooth, fluffy, and well incorporated.
  3. Bake the Cake:
    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Make the Frosting:
    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in sugar, evaporated milk, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Cook while stirring constantly for 10–12 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and turns a lovely golden caramel color. Remove from heat and fold in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans. Let cool until spreadable.
  5. Assemble the Cake:
    Place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thick layer of frosting over the top, then gently set the second cake layer on top. Use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides generously.
  6. Serve:
    Slice and serve your Snow Bavarian Bliss Cake at room temperature for the most luscious texture and flavor.

Notes

  1. For extra richness, add a splash of coconut extract to the cake batter.
  2. If you prefer a lighter frosting, fold in whipped cream once the coconut-pecan mixture has cooled completely.
  3. Toasting the pecans before mixing them in enhances their flavor and gives the frosting a delicious crunch.
  4. This cake stores beautifully keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, and bring it to room temperature before serving.
