I find the German Chocolate cake mixes very good. BUT the canned frosting just isn't the same as the real thing. Here is my Mom's recipe for the real stuff.

  • 1. In a saucepan mix milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter, salt, and vanilla. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until mixture thickens (about 12 minutes). Remove from heat. Add coconut and pecans. Beat until cool and of spreading consistency. Makes enough to fill and frost one cake.
