For the Toppings

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Pans

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.

Step 4: Add Egg Whites

Add egg whites one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

Step 5: Finish the Batter

Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in sour cream until smooth.

Step 6: Bake

Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely.

Step 7: Make the Bavarian Cream Filling

Whisk together pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Fold in whipped topping and vanilla extract. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 8: Prepare the Frosting

Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Fold in whipped topping until light and fluffy.

Step 9: Assemble the Cake

Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the Bavarian cream filling evenly over the cake. Top with the second cake layer.

Step 10: Frost the Cake

Cover the top and sides with the whipped cream cheese frosting.

Step 11: Decorate

Sprinkle generously with white chocolate shavings, powdered sugar, and coconut flakes if desired.

Step 12: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
