Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz white chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 4 oz white chocolate, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. For the cheesecake layer: Beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes until just set. Cool completely before chilling in the refrigerator.
  3. For the cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy; add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract. Mix in melted white chocolate then alternate adding dry ingredients and buttermilk until combined. Divide batter between pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  4. For the frosting: Combine butter, evaporated milk, sugar, and egg yolks in a saucepan over medium heat; stir constantly until thickened (10-12 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, coconut, pecans, and melted white chocolate. Let cool.
  5. Assemble the cake by placing one layer on a serving plate followed by the cheesecake layer and then the second cake layer on top. Frost generously with cooled frosting.
