Time 2h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
5 (1 ounce) squares white chocolate, chopped
1 ¼ cups butter
2 ¼ cups white sugar
5 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups buttermilk
4 egg yolks
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups white sugar
¾ cup butter
1 (7 ounce) package sweetened flaked coconut
1 ½ cups chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9-inch baking pans.

GERMAN WHITE CHOCOLATE CAKE



German White Chocolate Cake image

This is an elegant-looking cake and one bite will have you sold! Please use the very best white chocolate that you can find.This is a cake that has to "stand alone" on the merits of the white chocolate, so if you're going to use the cheaper stuff, please pass this cake up. If you can find the clear vanilla, it's really worth it. I didn't list it but it really makes a difference. It's sometimes hard to find,but it won't do any harm using the regular. This was in Mass Recipes.
