Hope Schwing's German Chocolate Cake - "Sweet Talks" Ep. 2

Welcome back, friends! This week's episode I had the pleasure of making German Chocolate cake with Hope Schwing. It was a cake her grandma made for her frequently and she even told me she couldn't tell the difference between mine and her grandma's! I couldn't hold back and not share the recipe we made!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 8oz evaporated milk

• ½ cup SALTED butter

• 3 egg yolks

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 ⅓ cups flaked coconut

• 1 cup chopped pecans (toasted for nuttier flavor)

Instructions:

Combine evaporated milk, brown sugar, butter, egg yolks, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, at a low boil until mixture turns a light caramel color and thickens, about 10 minutes.

Let cool for about 15 minutes and add in your coconut + pecans. Let cool completely before adding to your cake.

FOR CAKE:

German chocolate cake is a traditionally milk chocolate cake but you can make your favorite chocolate cake recipe OR a boxed cake mix. The frosting is REALLY the star of the show!
