Once your cakes have cooled, place one layer on a serving platter.
Generously spread the coconut-pecan frosting on top, then place the second cake layer on top. Continue to frost the entire cake, making sure the top and sides are evenly covered.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your White German Chocolate Cake!
Notes
Substitute alert: Don’t have buttermilk? No worries! Simply mix 1 cup of regular milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar, let it sit for 5 minutes, and voilà—homemade buttermilk.
Egg whites: Using egg whites only helps keep the cake light and fluffy. If you prefer a richer cake, you can use whole eggs, but this will slightly alter the texture.
Cooling is crucial: Make sure the cakes are fully cooled before applying the frosting. A warm cake will cause the frosting to melt and slide off.
Storage tip: This cake is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
