Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 can (12 oz) coconut pecan frosting
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Ensure your oven is fully preheated before you begin baking. A consistent temperature is essential for the perfect cake.

Step 2: Prepare the Cake Mix

Mix all the ingredients as directed. Focus on achieving a uniform blend, avoiding any clumps. Texture is key in every layer of your cake!

Step 3: Bake the Cake

Keep a close watch on the baking time. Remember that every oven is different; it’s best to start checking a little early!

Step 4: Make the Coconut Pecan Topping

Stir continuously when cooking this mixture to prevent burning. This is a labor of love that will reward you with delightful flavor.

Step 5: Poke the Cake

You can make as many holes as you like, ensuring every slice will be bursting with your delicious topping.

Step 6: Pour on the Topping

Make sure to carefully spread the topping; let it flow into the holes while keeping some texture on the surface.

Step 7: Finish with Frosting

Feel free to get creative with your frosting design! Make it as fancy or as rustic as you prefer.

Notes

Use Quality Ingredients

The flavor of your German Chocolate Cake greatly depends on the quality of your ingredients, especially the chocolate and vanilla.

Cooling Time

Allow your cake to cool adequately before adding the frosting to prevent it from melting away.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
