German Chocolate Cake Part II
German Chocolate Cake
2 Cups of CAKE FLOUR NOT ALL PURPOSE
1/4 Tsp. salt
1 Tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup of water
2 sticks of UNSALTED BUTTER
4 eggs SEPARATED
2 cups of sugar
1 Tsp. of vanilla flavor
1 cup of buttermilk (or 2% with 1 TBS of vinegar)
Pecan Frosting:
1 Can of evaporated milk
1-1/2 cups of sugar
1-1/2 sticks of butter
4 egg yolks ONLY
1-1/2 Tsp. of vanilla
7 oz of shredded coconut
1-1/2 cups of finely chopped pecan pieces
Decoration for top of cake: Pecans Halves
Method:
Mix flour, salt and baking soda and sit aside.
Beat and cream butter and sugar for at least 5 or 6 mins. Then add one egg at a time incorporating after each. Melt chocolate in a separate saucepan and let cool thoroughly before adding to the mixture along with the vanilla.
Add flour and buttermilk alternatively starting with flour and ending with buttermilk and mix thoroughly and sit aside. Get another bowl cleaned well and add egg whites. Mix until stiff peaks form. FOLD into the cake batter slowly. DO NOT STIR. Pour evenly in 3 9-inch pans but keep in mind your layers will be thin. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 mins. Use a toothpick to ensure done. Let cake rest in pan for at least 15 mins. before turning out on cooling rack.
I suggest you make the frosting while the cake is baking.
Add all ingredients except the coconut and pecans. Let the mixture come to a boil being careful to watch closely as this can burn/scorch easily. Cook for approximately 15 or so mins. Once done take off the fire and add the pecans and coconut.
Put this mixture in the freezer until at frosting consistency and frost cakes as done in the video.

OLD SCHOOL TRIPLE LAYER GERMAN CHOCOLATE ???? CAKE (FRIDAY NIGHT CAKE ???? OF THE WEEK SEGMENT)
CAKE RECIPE:
2 all-purpose flour,
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 ounces German's Sweet Chocolate, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup boiling water
2 cups sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (see note), plus more for the pans
4 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup buttermilk
Coconut and Pecan Filling
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 large egg yolks, slightly beaten
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 12 pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/3 cups unsweetened flaked coconut (about 7 ounces
1 1/2 cups chopped toasted pecans
Instructions
To make the cake: Place a rack in the center of the oven, and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour three 9-inch cake pans, and shake out the excess flour.(or spray pans with pan spray)
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, cover the chocolate with the boiling water. Stir to melt the chocolate.
In a second large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter using an electric mixer on medium spread. Continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the batter, blending on low speed, and beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Fold in the melted chocolate.
In a third large bowl, beat the egg white with clean beaters on high speed until almost-stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Fold the egg whites into the batter. Divide the batter between the three reserved pans.
Bake the cakes until they spring back with lightly pressed in the center, 28 to 32 minutes.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pans, and gently shake to loosen the cakes. Invert the cakes once and then again onto the racks to cool completely right-side up, about 45 minutes.
To make the filling: In a large saucepan, combine the evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter, vanilla and salt. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and is caramel in color, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut and pecans. Let the mixture cool until it is thick enough to spread. (You can refrigerate the filling while the cake layers cool. Or to speed the process along, you can make the filling before you bake the cake.)
To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving plate and cover with 1 cup of filling, spreading it to the edges. Top with the second layer and repeat. Top with the third layer, and pile the remaining filling on top, leaving the sides bare. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
