German Chocolate Cake Recipe 🍰
Indulge in the decadent delight of our German Chocolate Cake with this scrumptious recipe. Follow these simple steps to create a culinary masterpiece that will leave your taste buds tingling:
Ingredients:
- 1 can (12 ounces) Evaporated Milk
- 5 Egg Yolks
- 1 1/2 cups White Sugar
- 3/4 cup Butter
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups Pecan Pieces
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups Shredded Sweetened Coconut
Directions:
- Begin by separating the eggs, discarding the whites, or saving them for another culinary adventure.
- In a heavy medium-size saucepan, combine the evaporated milk, egg yolks, and sugar. Whisk the mixture until well-blended.
- Add the butter to the mixture and heat over medium heat. Stir almost continually until the mixture comes to a slow boil. Continue cooking until it thickens. Remove from heat and allow it to cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Introduce the pecans to the mixture, followed by the shredded coconut. Stir until the consistency is thick and delightful. Adjust the amounts of coconut or pecans as needed.
- Place half of the frosting onto the first cake layer, spreading it to the edges. The foil strips under the edges of the cake will keep the plate clean.
- Gently press down the second cake layer.
- Spread the remaining frosting over the top layer. Don’t worry about the sides – the charm of this cake lies in its simplicity.
- Remove the foil and serve. While it’s delicious at any time, it’s particularly delightful when served slightly warm.
