Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 (1 ounce) squares white chocolate, chopped
2 ½ cups sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup flaked coconut
4 egg whites

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 3 (9 inch) pans. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the yolks one at a time, then stir in the melted chocolate and vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir in the nuts and coconut.
  • In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the batter, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain. Divide batter into prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
