Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or one 9x12-inch rectangular pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened margarine and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
  7. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  10. For the frosting, beat the softened margarine and cream cheese together until smooth.
  11. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla, beating on low speed until combined.
  12. Add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream or half-and-half, and beat on high speed until light and fluffy. Add more cream if needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
  13. Once the cake layers are completely cool, frost the top and sides of the cake with the cream cheese frosting.
