🍰 White German Chocolate Cake with a Cheesecake Center

🌟 Introduction

Some desserts stop you in your tracks—and this is one of them. The White German Chocolate Cake with a Cheesecake Center is a modern twist on a beloved classic. Imagine layers of soft, tender white cake sandwiching a luscious, creamy cheesecake, all crowned with the famous coconut-pecan frosting that defines German chocolate decadence.
It’s a dessert that marries light and creamy, sweet and nutty, elegance and comfort—perfect for celebrations, anniversaries, or those moments when you simply want to spoil yourself and someone you love.

🕰️ A Brief History

Despite its name, German Chocolate Cake isn’t from Germany—it’s actually American! The cake’s origin dates back to 1852, when Samuel German, an English-American baker, developed a type of dark baking chocolate for the Baker’s Chocolate Company. In the 1950s, a homemaker’s recipe using “German’s Sweet Chocolate” became wildly popular, and the name stuck.

Our version takes the idea to new heights: we swap the traditional chocolate layers for light, snowy white cake, and sneak in a creamy cheesecake center for an irresistible surprise. It’s the meeting point of two worlds—Southern sweetness and New York cheesecake elegance.

🧁 Formation (Cake Structure)

This cake has three primary components:

The Cheesecake Core – creamy, tangy, and rich.
White Cake Layers – soft and light, providing contrast to the dense cheesecake.
Coconut-Pecan Frosting – golden, caramel-like, nutty perfection that ties it all together.

When assembled, these layers form a showstopping centerpiece with gorgeous textures in every bite.

🧂 Ingredients

✨ For the Cheesecake Center:

16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs

🍰 For the White Cake:

1 box white cake mix (15.25 oz / 432 g)
1 cup water
½ cup vegetable oil
3 large egg whites

🥥 For the Coconut-Pecan Frosting:

1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large egg yolks
½ cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans

👩‍🍳 Method / Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Grease and line an 8-inch round pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla, and beat until creamy.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing gently after each.
Pour batter into the pan and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour (firm is best for stacking).

2. Bake the White Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare cake batter according to box instructions with water, oil, and egg whites.
Divide evenly into two 8-inch pans.
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool completely before assembling.

3. Make the Coconut-Pecan Frosting

In a medium saucepan, whisk together evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, and butter.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes, until thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, coconut, and pecans.
Let it cool to room temperature—this will thicken it beautifully for spreading.

4. Assemble the Masterpiece

Place one white cake layer on a serving plate.
Carefully add the chilled cheesecake layer on top (you can invert it gently out of its pan).
Add the second white cake layer over the cheesecake.
Generously spread the coconut-pecan frosting over the top and sides.
Chill for 30 minutes before slicing for perfect layers.

💞 For the Lovers of Cake

This dessert is made for lovers—of baking, of sweetness, of shared moments. Each forkful is like a love letter to texture and flavor: the velvety cheesecake whispers of indulgence, while the tender cake embraces it softly.
Share it with someone special, or enjoy it solo with a cup of coffee while you dream sweet dreams. Because love, like cake, is best when shared… but always worth savoring.
