Have you ever tried something so delicious you can barely stand it…
and something that you’re even more shocked that you actually made. This is one of those recipes.
This cake is amazing! I made it for my sisters’ birthday and it tasted great. The recipe is easy and the baking time is accurate.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
5 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
11 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup butter6 cups confectioners’ sugar
1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour three 9-in. round baking pans. In a large bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla. Combine flour and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Beat until just combined. Stir in coconut and pecans
In another bowl, beat egg whites with clean beaters until stiff but not dry. Fold a fourth of the egg whites into batter, then fold in remaining whites. Pour into prepared pans Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.
Beat in confectioners’ sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Stir in pecans. Spread frosting between layers and over top and side of cake. Store cake in the refrigerator.
Enjoy!
