German Chocolate Cake


Delicious gooey chocolate cake filled with creamy  caramel flavored coconut pecan frosting will surely be something every chocolate cake lover would die for..and for a chocolate lover like me this was divine.When I first saw the German chocolate cake I was impressed by the beautiful stack of cakes with this gooey frosting and finally ended making one at home. I feel it is one of the most delicious chocolate cake.I have brought a little alterations but for the exact recipe check here.For the chocolate cake you can use either melted baking chocolate or a combination of baking chocolate and unsweetened cocoa powder.


Ingredients for the filling

Condensed milk- 8 ounce or 1/2 tin
Butter - 3 tsp
milk- 2 tsp
vanilla essence- 1tsp
Egg yolks 2
Chopped pecans- 3/4 cup

To make the frosting

Quickly add this egg mixture to the boiling condensed milk and stir continuously till thick like custard. Add in chopped pecan coconut and vanilla essence and allow this mixture to cool completely.
For the cake

  46. can u tell me the amount of butter used in beating the sugar butter mixture...the amount of sugar is given as 3/4 cup but cant find the amount of butter ...and did u use cake flour or all purpose flour...thankyou.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Hi Sumi, Thanks for stopping by..I am so glad you found this cake recipe interesting
    I used all purpose flour, but if you have cake flour do use it as it gives better results and finer texture.
    I used 3/4 stick of butter ( 6 tbs of butter)
    Happy baking :)
