Delicious homemade German Chocolate cake with cake flour.
Ingredients:
  • 4 (1 ounce) squares German sweet chocolate
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2.5 cups cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 0.5 cup butter
  • 3 egg yolks, beaten
  • 1.3333333730698 cups flaked coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 0.5 teaspoon shortening
  • 1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prep 3 - 9 inch round pans with greased and floured. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a saucepan, melt 4 ounces of chocolate with water. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • In a large bowl, whip together 1 cup of butter and 2 cups of sugar until fluffy. Add 4 egg yolks one at a time. Stir in melted chocolate mixture and vanilla. Alternate adding flour mixture and buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
  • In a spacious glass or metal mixing bowl, whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in 1/3 of the whites into the batter, followed by the remaining whites until fully incorporated with no streaks.
  • Divide the batter evenly into the 3 - 9 inch pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let it cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the Filling: Combine 1 cup sugar, evaporated milk, 1/2 cup butter, and 3 egg yolks in a saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and mix in coconut, pecans, and vanilla. Cool until spreadable consistency is reached.
  • Layer the luscious filling between and atop the cake. Melt shortening and 1 ounce of chocolate in a small saucepan until smooth. Drizzle the mixture down the sides of the cake.
