For this German Chocolate Cake Recipe, we will need the following ingredients: all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, eggs, buttermilk, butter, vanilla extract and shredded coconut.
To make the frosting, we will need evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract.
Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not over-mix.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, in a medium saucepan, whisk together the evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
Remove from heat and stir in the shredded coconut and vanilla extract. Allow the frosting to cool completely before frosting the cake.
To assemble the cake, place one of the cake layers on a cake stand or plate. Top with half of the frosting and spread evenly. Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
