This cake is soooooo good & it's Danny's favorite!
German Chocolate Cake
I use the Wacky Cake recipe found here, but any chocolate cake recipe would be good I'm sure. I like to make it using round pans instead of a 9x13.
*I do the 1 1/2 batch. It makes two 9-inch round pans.
Coconut-Pecan Frosting
1 C. evaporated milk
1 C. sugar
3 slightly beaten egg yolks
1/2 C. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/3 C. coconut
1 C. chopped pecans (or walnuts)
Combine milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter, and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Cook & stir over medium heat until thickened--about 12 minutes. Remove from heat & stir in coconut & nuts. Cool until thickened enough to spread (about 30-60 minutes), stirring occasionally.
Makes 2 1/2 cups
*I double the frosting recipe because we like a generous amount of frosting for the cake.
