Klondike White Chocolate Cake Recipe

Directions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.

In a large bowl, stir together cake mix, instant butter, and water. Make a well in the center and pour in sugar and eggs. Beat on low speed until blended. Scrape bowl, and beat 4 minutes on medium speed. Stir in vanilla.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing from the oven.

To make the Frosting: In a medium bowl, stir together 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until blended. Scrape bowl, and beat 3 minutes on high speed. Stir in butter and cocoa powder.

To assemble the cake: Place a wire rack in a tray or deep plate. Spread 1/2 of the frosting over the top of the cake, then layer remaining frosting over the rest of the cake. Place the remaining cake layer-side down over the frosting, and spread remaining cake layer-side down. Spread remaining frosting over the cake and put the "kit" back on top of the cake. Brush the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of frosting, then place another rack in the oven.

To make the Candy: In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and 2 tablespoons of frosting. Spread over top of cooled cake, and let cool 10 minutes before removing from oven. Spread remaining frosting over the entire cake.

To make the Frosting: In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons of frosting, 2 tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup of coconut, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 cup of packed cracker crumbs. Spread over the cooled cake, then cut into squares. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter or margarine.
