Directions
German Chocolate Cake With Coconut Pecan Frosting,This cake is not for people watching their calories or fat!! But, boy is it good. The recipe came from the Kraft website, and from a recipe I found on the side of a bar of baking chocolate. I made this cake for my parent’s birthdays and it was a big hit. Extremely rich, moist and decadent. For the birthdays, I splurged, and used 4 oz. of imported European dark chocolate that I got at Whole Foods, but the regular Bakers chocolate works wonderful as well. I, personally, am not a huge fan of coconut, but the people I made the cake for are. used “light coconut” which has less fat and looks more finely shredded than regular shredded coconut. I also only used just about 2 cups instead of the full amount the recipe called for. Hope you enjoy!,My husband LOVES German Chocolate cake but I’ve always just done store bought so for Father’s Day I wanted to give this a shot. It was AMAZING.,Can use this recipe to make it a single layer cake in a 9 x 12 pan?
