Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line it with parchment paper.

  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy; add eggs one by one and mix in melted white chocolate. Gradually add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk.
  5. Divide batter between pans and bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool in pans before transferring to wire racks.
  6. For frosting, cook butter, evaporated milk, sugar, and egg yolks on medium heat until thickened. Stir in vanilla extract, coconut, pecans, and melted white chocolate; cool completely.
  7. Assemble the cake by layering one cake on a plate topped with the cheesecake center and then another layer of cake on top. Frost generously with cooled frosting.
