Frosting Delight: German Chocolate Cake Frosting
We think the frosting is the most important part of any cake or cupcake, but this goes double for German Chocolate Cake (which isn’t German, by the way). We love the nutty flavors and textures this frosting adds to the cake.
Try to get pecans and shredded coconut that’s as fresh as possible. (Not the stuff that’s been in the pantry since last year’s baking). You may also want to toast the pecans and coconut lightly before adding to the mixture.
Here’s the fabulous frosting recipe. The cake recipe and more is after the jump.
Coconut-Pecan Frosting
Combine 1-1/2 cups (12 fl. oz.) evaporated milk, 1-1/2 cups sugar, 4 slightly beaten egg yolks, 3/4 cup butter or margarine and 1-1/2 tsp. vanilla in saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in 2 cups shredded coconut and 1-1/2 cups chopped pecans. Cool until thick enough to spread. Makes 4-1/4 cups.
