GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE

Ingredients:

Condensed milk, one 12-ounce can

Egg yolks, 5

White sugar, 1 1/2 cups

Butter, 3/4 cup

Pecan pieces, 1 1/2 to 2 cups

Shredded, sweetened coconut, 1 1/2 to 2 cups

Instructions:

-Separate the eggs. Discard the egg whites or save them for another use.

– Combine condensed milk, egg yolks and sugar in a heavy medium saucepan. Add the sugar and beat until well blended.

– Add butter.-Heat over medium heat, stirring almost constantly, until the mixture slowly boils. Continue cooking until it begins to thicken. Remove from heat and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes.

– Add nuts.

– Add coconut.- Mix everything together and add more coconut or nuts as needed until you get a nice, thick mixture.

– Pour about half onto the first cake layer and spread around the edges. Strips of aluminum foil under the edges of the cake keep the plate clean.

– Add the second cake layer and press down very lightly.

– Spread the rest of the icing on the top layer.It’s impossible to make the sides and it doesn’t matter. That’s why this cake is so easy to make!

– Remove the aluminum foil and serve. It’s good anytime, but even better when it’s still a little warm.

Enjoy!
