Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line with parchment paper. Beat cream cheese until smooth; add sugar and mix well. Incorporate eggs one at a time followed by vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour. Pour into the pan and bake for 40-45 minutes until set. Cool completely and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Make the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in one bowl. Cream butter and sugar in another until fluffy; beat in eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract. Stir in melted white chocolate followed by alternating flour mixture and buttermilk. Divide batter between pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool cakes.
- Prepare Frosting: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, evaporated milk, sugar, and egg yolks; stir constantly until thickened (10-12 minutes). Remove from heat; mix in vanilla extract along with coconut, pecans, and melted white chocolate.
- Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate; top with cheesecake layer then add second cake layer on top. Frost sides and top with cooled frosting.
