- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
This German chocolate cake is an easy-to-make dessert that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. To make the cake, preheat oven to 350°F and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Beat in the melted butter until the batter is smooth. Fold in the coconut and pecans. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, to make the frosting, combine the sweetened condensed milk and the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the coconut and pecans. Let the mixture cool for at least 10 minutes before spreading it over the cooled cakes.
