Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 box of white or yellow cake mix
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 cup shredded coconut
For the Frosting:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional, for garnish)
- Additional shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Pans
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper for easier removal.
Step 2: Mix the Cake Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and instant vanilla pudding.
- Add sour cream, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed at first, then medium for about 2 minutes, until smooth.
- Gently fold in chopped pecans and shredded coconut using a spatula. This adds texture and flavor without overmixing.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
