GRANDMA'S GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE



Grandma's German Chocolate Cake image

This is my grandma's recipe for German Chocolate Cake. This was all of us kid's favorite for birthdays. I made this for my husband on our first date on his birthday, and it's a tradition in our family now. We always use black walnuts, but you can use English walnuts. The hot water sounds weird, but that's the way my family has made it for years.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup margarine, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup boiling water
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1/4 lb margarine, softened
1 teaspoon imitation vanilla
1 1/3 cups coconut
1 1/2 cups black walnuts, chopped (you can use English walnuts if you prefer)

Steps:

  • I make this in either a greased and floured 9 x 12 inch pan or 2 9-inch round pans. For the 9 inch pans I also add wax paper cut to the pan size in the bottom of the pan.
  • I start checking for doneness after 40 minutes for a 9 x 12 pan, and 25 minutes for the 2 9-inch pans. When a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean it's done.
  • Cream margarine and sugar.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well.
  • Add buttermilk and dry ingredients.
  • Add boiling water and beat until mixed.
  • Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45-55 minutes or until done.
  • For Icing- Combine milk, sugar, egg yolks, margarine and vanilla.
  • Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 15 minutes.
  • Add coconut and nuts.
  • Beat until thick enough to spread.

Time 25m

Yield 1 Nine inch two layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup canned evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
3 egg yolks, slightly mixed with a whisk
1/2 cup butter (real butter)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups coconut
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Put butter in a sauce pan and let it melt.
  • Add milk, sugar, vanilla and whisk in egg yolks.
  • Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture starts to bubble and then cook for about nine (9) minutes stirring constantly.
  • Pour over coconut and pecans and mix.
  • I usually put the nuts and coconut in a metal bowl and then poor the hot mixture over them to help with cooling.
  • If you are in a hurry, put the mixture in the refrigerator stirring occasionally until it is cool and thick enough to ice your cake.
  • I find that box cakes are just fine for this.
