Cake

  • Cooking spray
  • 2 cups cake flour (about 8 ounces)
  • 1/3 cup butter softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup pecans finely chopped, toasted
  • 1 tsp coconut extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 large egg whites

Frosting

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup (5 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Recipe Method

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. To prepare cake, coat bottoms of 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray (do not coat sides of pans). Line bottoms of pans with wax paper. Coat wax paper with coking spray; dust with 2 teaspoons flour.

3. Place 1/3 cup butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating well. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

4. Lightly spoon 2 cups flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine 2 cups flour, baking soda, and salt; stir well. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in pecans, coconut extract, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.

5. Beat eggs whites with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form (do not overheat). Fold egg whites into batter; pour batter into prepared pans.

6. Bake at 350 degrees for 23 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 5 minutes on a wire rack. Loosen cake layers from sides of pans; remove from pans. Remove and discard wax paper. Cool completely.

7. To prepare frosting, place 1 tablespoon butter and cream cheese in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating at low speed until smooth (do not over beat). Add 1 teaspoon vanilla; beat well.

8.. Place 1 cake layer on a large plate; spread with one third of frosting. Top with other cake layer. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake.
