Original German Chocolate Cake Recipe From Scratch GreenStarCandy from greenstarcandy.blogspot.com

Ingredients

You’ll need the following ingredients for this German chocolate sheet cake recipe:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 1/3 cup chopped pecans

For the Frosting:

1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13 inch pan with butter or cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set the bowl aside.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and evaporated milk together. Once melted, add the chocolate chips and stir until melted and smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract until combined. Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the eggs and whisk until completely combined. Add the flour mixture to the bowl and whisk until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and evaporated milk together. Once melted, add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract and whisk until combined.

Once the cake is finished baking, pour the frosting over the top. Sprinkle the coconut and pecans over the top of the cake. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
