German Chocolate Cake
- German Chocolate Cake
- *2 1/4 C Sugar 2 eggs 2 TBSP Cocoa Powder 1 tsp vanilla 1/4 tsp salt 1 C shortening 3 C All purpose flour *2 C buttermilk *2 tsp baking soda
- German Chocolate Icing
- 2 1/4 C sugar 1 1/2 cans evaporated milk 3 TBSP flour 3/4 C butter 1/2 tsp vanilla 1 1/2 C pecans or walnuts 1 1/2 C flaked coconut
- Put all ingredients in bowl and mix. Bake at 350 until done * For high altitude, try reducing the sugar by 2-3 TBSP and increasing the buttermilk by 2-3 TBSP. Reduce the baking soda by 1/8-1/4 tsp. Also increase the temp to 375.
- We like alot of icing, so we always make 1 1/2 recipes. Melt butter. Then mix together everything EXCEPT coconut and nuts. You will microwave in a large microwave safe bowl in 5 minute increments. (microwave for 5 minutes, stop, stir, microwave 5 minutes again, stop, stir, etc.). I don't know how long it will take each person because each microwave cooks differently. Keep cooking until icing becomes thick and gooey. Let cool completely, then add the nuts and coconut. Use to ice completely cooled cake.
