Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°F. Grease two 8 or 9-inch round baking pans. I like to cut a round piece of wax or parchment paper for the bottom of the pan also, to make sure the cake comes out easily.

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE
This chocolatey classic is all about the coconut filling. We like ours with a cooked custard so it is extra rich and creamy. Made with cocoa powder and semisweet chocolate, the cake has a light texture and a light chocolate flavor. Semisweet chocolate also flavors the simply delicious ganache frosting.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat two 9-inch round cake pans with oil and dust with flour. Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
- Microwave the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl on high power for 45 seconds; remove and stir. Microwave again at high power in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate has melted completely; set aside.
- Beat the granulated sugar, oil and eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in the melted chocolate. Alternate beating in the flour mixture and the milk, adding the flour in three additions and the milk in two, starting and ending with the flour, until just incorporated. Add half the milk, and mix until just incorporated. Repeat with the remaining flour mixture and milk, making sure not to overmix. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, run a thin spatula around the edges and then turn the cakes out onto a cooling rack to cool completely. (They will have a sugary "crust" on the top. This is from the melted chocolate and is not a problem. It will soften once the cake is assembled or if the layers are baked the day before.)
- For the filling: While the cakes cool, spread the pecans on a baking sheet and bake, tossing once, until toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Finely chop. Whisk together the milk and egg yolks in a medium saucepan until smooth. Add the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, vanilla and salt, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 6 minutes. (It will be similar to the thickness of eggnog.) Pour the mixture into a large bowl. (Don't worry if it seems thin. The coconut and nuts will bind it.) Stir in the coconut and pecans; set aside to cool.
- For the frosting: Put the chocolate in a medium bowl. Heat 1 cup of the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming but not boiling, and pour over the chocolate. Let stand a few minutes, and then whisk until smooth; let stand at room temperature (or put in the refrigerator if your kitchen is hot) until thick but not set, 20 minutes to 1 hour. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons cream to the chocolate mixture, and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until lightened in color and fluffy, about 1 minute (do not overbeat, or it will become hard and grainy). The frosting should hold medium peaks and will continue to firm up a bit as it stands. Spoon about 1 cup frosting into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
- To assemble: Put one cake layer right-side up on a serving plate, and top with half the filling. Top with the second cake layer and the remaining filling, spreading it to about 1/2 inch from the edge. Frost the sides, and decorate around the top edge of the cake with the frosting in the pastry bag.
- Loosely cover the cake with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature overnight. Unwrap and serve.
GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the coconut-pecan filling and frosting ingredients.
- Combine the evaporated milk and egg yolks in a large saucepan (off heat) and whisk until well blended. Add the brown sugar and whisk to blend.
- Add the pieces of butter. Place the pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly until the butter melts and the mixture thickens, about 12 to 15 minutes,
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the coconut, pecans, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir to blend and set aside to cool for about 1 hour. The filling will thicken as it cools. Meanwhile, make the cake. Make the Cake
- Gather the ingredients for the cake.
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 F. Spray three 8-inch round cake pans and line with parchment paper .
- Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl .
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Add the egg-buttermilk mixture to the flour-cocoa powder mixture, stirring until blended.
- Add the boiling water (and espresso powder if using) and mix until smooth. The batter will be pretty thin.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 3 cake pans. You will have about 16 ounces of batter in each pan.
- Bake the cake layers for 25 to 28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the pans and place on racks to cool completely. Assemble the Layers
- Place a cake layer on a cake plate or stand and top with about 3/4 to 1 cup of filling. Add another cake layer and top with more filling.
- Finish with the third layer and top with the remaining filling. Leave a little space around the edge if you plan to decorate with piped ganache. Finish With the Optional Ganache
- Gather the ganache ingredients.
- Place the chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl; set aside.
- Heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat. It should be hot and steaming, not boiling or bubbling.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let stand for 10 minutes without stirring.
- Whisk the cream and melted chocolate chips with the vanilla extract until smooth. If you see any unmelted chocolate lumps, place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until the ganache is smooth.
- Let the ganache cool for about 1 hour, whisking every 10 minutes. The ganache should be thick enough to hold peaks. Beat the ganache with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes, until it is light and fluffy.
- Frost the side of the cake with the whipped ganache. If desired, pipe the remaining ganache around the edge of the cake.

Steps:
- Cake.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a standing mixer, cream butter and sugars together until fluffy in a standing mixer.
- Beat in eggs and vanilla.
- Put the water, chocolate, and espresso powder in a small saucepan and stir on low heat until melted. Allow to cool slightly and then beat into butter mixture.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt and stir into batter alternately with sour cream.
- Divide batter evenly between the 2 pans and bake for 25 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow to cool for 15 minutes in the pans, then turn cakes out onto a plate or rack to cool completely.
- Goopy Topping.
- In a medium pot, whisk together cornstarch, cream, corn syrup, sugars, and egg yolks.
- Cut up butter into small pieces and add to pot.
- Over medium heat, whisk goopy topping constantly until bubbly and shiny, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and immediately scrape out topping into a bowl, to halt the cooking process.
- Stir in vanilla, salt, pecans, and coconut.
- Cover and chill completely.
- Frosting.
- Melt chocolate in a bowl over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave at medium heat, stirring every 20 seconds. Set aside. Let cool slightly.
- Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks.
- Bring water and sugar to a boil and cook over high heat until temperature reaches 240 degrees F (softball stage). You can use a candy thermometer, or test by spooning a little of the hot sugar syrup into a glass of ice water - if you can roll it between your fingers into a soft ball, then it is ready.
- While beating whites at medium speed, slowly add sugar syrup (be careful - it's hot!) until all the syrup has been added. Continue to beat whites until cool, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Start adding butter to egg whites, a little at a time, while mixing constantly and scraping the sides of the bowl often, until all the butter has been incorporated. If the frosting looks like it's separating or looks curdled, don't worry - just keep mixing and it will come together.
- Mix in melted chocolate, vanilla, cocoa powder and salt. Keep at room temperature to ice cake. If making a day ahead, chill frosting but bring to room temperature and beat well before using.
- To Assemble.
- Level cakes if necessary, using a serrated knife. Spread a dollop of chocolate frosting on one layer of cake. Spoon a third of the goopy topping over frosting. Spread in the centre of the cake leaving an inch from the edge of the cake, without topping.
- Place second cake on top of first and dollop a generous amount of chocolate frosting on top. Spread to edges of cake, working from the middle and turning the cake as you work around. Ice the sides of the cake, but leave about ½ cup of icing for piping, if desired.
- Spread remaining goopy topping on top of cake, leaving ½ inch around the outside edge. If you do not wish to pipe outside edge with chocolate frosting, simply garnish the cake with toasted pecan halves.
- To pipe an edge, place frosting in a piping bag fitted with a star tip or leaf tip. Pipe frosting as desired. Remember - it's just frosting! If you're not pleased with how it looks, just scrape it off and start again. Again remember to lick your fingers often!
- Cake can be chilled until ready to serve. Frosting will firm up once chilled.

INSIDE OUT GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE
I recently made this for a co-worker's birthday and it is out of this world. The cake layers are nice and chocolatey..not too dense. The German chocolate filling is amazing and the frosting is super easy to work with as long as you cool everything completely. I toasted the nuts along with the coconut for a little extra nutty oomph.

Steps:
- Make cake layers:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and oil 3 9 inch cake pans. Line bottoms of pans with rounds of parchment or wax paper. Sift together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. Whisk together whole milk, butter, whole egg, yolk, vanilla, and almond extract in another large bowl until just combined. Beat egg mixture into flour mixture with an electric mixer on low speed, then beat on high speed 1 minute. Reduce speed to low and beat in water until just combined (batter will be thin). Divide batter among cake pans (about 1 1/2 cups per pan) and bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of pans and rotating them 180 degrees halfway through baking, until a tester comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes total.
- Cool layers in pans on racks 15 minutes. Run a thin knife around edges of pans and invert layers onto racks. Carefully remove parchment or wax paper and cool layers completely.
- Make filling:
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F
- Spread coconut in a large shallow baking pan and pecans in another. Bake pecans in upper third of oven and coconut in lower third, stirring occasionally, until golden, 12 to 18 minutes. Remove pans from oven.
- Increase oven temperature to 425°F
- Pour condensed milk into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate and cover tightly with foil. Bake milk in a water bath in middle of oven 45 minutes. Refill baking pan with water to reach halfway up pie plate and bake milk until thick and brown, about 45 minutes more. Remove pie plate from water bath.
- Stir in coconut, pecans, and vanilla and keep warm, covered with foil.
- Make glaze while milk is baking:
- Melt butter in a 3-quart saucepan. Remove pan from heat and add chocolate and corn syrup, whisking until chocolate is melted. Transfer 1 cup glaze to a bowl, reserving remaining glaze at room temperature in pan. Chill glaze in bowl, stirring occasionally, until thickened and spreadable, about 1 hour.
- Assemble cake:
- Put 1 cake layer on a rack set over a baking pan (to catch excess glaze). Drop half of coconut filling by spoonfuls evenly over layer and gently spread with a wet spatula. Top with another cake layer and spread with remaining filling in same manner. Top with remaining cake layer and spread chilled glaze evenly over top and side of cake. Heat reserved glaze in pan over low heat, stirring, until glossy and pourable, about 1 minute. Pour glaze evenly over top of cake, making sure it coats sides. Shake rack gently to smooth glaze.
- Chill cake until firm, about 1 hour. Transfer cake to a plate.
- Cooks' notes:
- • Cake keeps, covered and chilled, 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
- • For easier handling when assembling cake, place bottom layer on a cardboard round or the removable bottom of a tart or cake pan.

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE
This is the traditional light chocolate cake with the coconut and pecan icing that we remember from our childhood. Note: if you are making the 3 tiered version, I highly recommend you make more of the icing. (It also doesn't hurt to do that if you are making the 2 layered version. Ha ha!) Please use the ingredient amounts in parentheses to increase the yield by about 50%. In response to the one-star review: Yes, it *was* originally called German's Chocolate Cake but most of the mixes, recipes and ads for selling a cake like this, that I see, call it "German Chocolate Cake". That is also what everybody I know calls it and what I would search for if I was looking for the recipe. Therefore, that's what I'm calling mine.

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE
German chocolate cake is an American classic, named after a chocolatier called Samuel German (as opposed to the European nation). Milder than devil's food cake, this chocolate cake has layers that are subtle and sweet, chocolatey but not excessively so. They create a lovely, velvet-textured vehicle for the heaps of gooey, toasted coconut and pecan custard. For more chocolate appeal, rich ganache can be slathered on the sides. This not only adds another blissful layer of chocolate, but also neatens up the look and makes for a party-worthy presentation.

Steps:
- Bake the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 8-inch round cake pans. Line the pans with parchment and butter the parchment. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and whisk to combine well. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of bowl. Turn the mixer down to medium and add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, again scraping down the bowl as necessary. Beat in vanilla and melted chocolate until smooth. In a small bowl, combine coffee and yogurt.
- With the mixer on low, add half the flour mixture to the butter mixture, and mix to combine. Add the coffee mixture and mix to combine. Then add the remaining flour mixture, scraping the bowl one more time to make sure everything has been combined. Divide the batter between the prepared pans, smooth the tops and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer cakes in the pans to a rack to cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen the cakes and invert them onto racks to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling: On two separate trays lined with parchment paper, toast coconut and pecans at 325 degrees, stirring occasionally, until coconut is deep golden brown and nuts are fragrant, about 5 to 10 minutes. Watch carefully - coconut and nuts can quickly turn from golden to burned. Remove from oven, roughly chop the pecans, and transfer both coconut and pecans to a large bowl.
- In a medium saucepan, cook evaporated milk, egg yolks, brown sugar and salt over medium heat, whisking at first and then stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened enough to leave a line on the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Be careful not to let the mixture curdle. Lower the heat as necessary.
- Remove from heat and add the butter, stirring until it has melted. Add vanilla and stir to combine. Add the milk mixture to the coconut and pecans, stirring to combine. This mixture will thicken slightly as it cools.
- To assemble the cake, set one layer on a serving plate. Top with 1/3 of the coconut mixture. Repeat two more times, so the top of the cake is covered in coconut.
- If desired, finish with ganache: Heat heavy cream over medium heat until very hot. Place the chocolate in a medium bowl, and pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let stand 5 minutes. Add salt and whisk until smooth. Let this mixture stand at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until it is thick enough to spread around the sides of the cake.
