German Chocolate Icing image

This is a recipe from my mom and the cake has always been a real hit when I make it. I do double this when I make it as I like a lot of icing on my cake.

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.
