German Chocolate Cake

German Chocolate Cake... yum!


I made this cake this morning so my husband could take it into work for the other officers to enjoy. I must say, it turned out really well. I highly recommend it!

The chocolate cake recipe is one I had made back in February: Best Chocolate Cake

The frosting recipe is as follows:

In a saucepan, combine:

1 Can Evaporated Milk (12 oz)
1 Stick Butter
1 Cup Brown Sugar
3 Egg Yolks
1 Teaspoon Vanilla


Heat, stirring constantly until it becomes much thicker than it started... it will take 10-15 minutes. It will boil. Your arm will get tired. But! It's going to be worth it when you get to eat the cake.

Then, remove the pan from the heat and stir in 1 Cup Chopped Pecans (or Walnuts) and 1 1/3 Cups shredded sweet coconut flakes.

Let cool completely to room temperature before frosting your cake!

Enjoy :)
