Time 1h25m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 19

cooking spray
4 (1 ounce) squares sweet baking chocolate (such as Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate®), broken into pieces
½ cup water
4 large eggs, separated, divided
2 cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
Coconut-Pecan Frosting:
2 cups evaporated milk
2 cups white sugar
½ cup butter
6 egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
2 cups chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 11x17-inch sheet pan with cooking spray.
  • Place chocolate and water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and continue cooking until chocolate is almost melted, about 30 seconds longer. Remove from microwave and stir until chocolate is completely melted.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form.
  • Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add egg yolks to the sugar mixture, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in melted chocolate and vanilla extract.
  • Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture to sugar-butter mixture alternating with buttermilk, beating batter until well blended after each addition. Add egg whites and stir gently until incorporated. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 28 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
  • While cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. Combine evaporated milk, sugar, butter, egg yolks, and vanilla extract in a large saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in coconut and pecans. Mix the frosting until cooled but still spreadable. Spread on top of cooled cake.

WHITE CAKE WITH COCONUT, PECAN AND CHOCOLATE CHIP FROSTING



White Cake with Coconut, Pecan and Chocolate Chip Frosting image

Provided by Danny Murry

Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Dessert     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     Coconut     Pecan     Birthday     Bon Appétit     New York     Small Plates

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

For cake
1 2/3 cups sugar
2/3 cup solid vegetable shortening
3 large eggs
2 large egg whites
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups self-rising flour
For frosting
1 5-ounce can evaporated milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
3 large egg yolks, beaten to blend
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups flaked sweetened coconut
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Make cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and vegetable shortening in large bowl to blend. Beat in eggs and egg whites, then milk and vanilla extract. Add flour and beat just until blended. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool cake in pan.
  • Make frosting:
  • Combine first 6 ingredients in heavy large saucepan. Whisk constantly over medium-low heat until butter melts and mixture thickens (do not boil), about 10 minutes. Stir in pecans and coconut. Cool until frosting is thick enough to spread but is still warm, about 40 minutes.
  • Spread warm frosting over cake in pan. Let cool completely. Sprinkle chocolate chips over cake, pressing gently to adhere. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake to rise evenly and prevent curdling in the frosting.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time: This will prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking can dry out the cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a piping bag or ziplock bag to apply the frosting: This will give you more control over the frosting and help you create a smooth, even finish.

Conclusion:

This white cake with coconut, pecan, and chocolate chip frosting is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a sweet and tangy flavor. The frosting is rich and creamy, with a hint of coconut and chocolate. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
