Semi-Homemade German Chocolate Cake Recipe
Ingredients
For the cake, you’ll need one box of German chocolate cake mix, one box of instant chocolate pudding mix, three eggs, one cup of water, one-third cup of vegetable oil, and one teaspoon of vanilla extract. For the frosting, you’ll need one cup of evaporated milk, one cup of sugar, three egg yolks, one-third cup of butter, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, and one-and-a-half cups of flaked coconut. You will also need one cup of chopped pecans.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until ingredients are well blended and batter is smooth. Pour batter into prepared cake pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, combine evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter, and vanilla extract in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 12 to 15 minutes until mixture is thickened and golden brown. Remove from heat and stir in coconut and pecans. Let cool for 10 minutes before spreading onto cooled cake.
This cake can be served immediately or refrigerated for up to 3 days.
