Time 1h20m

Yield 10-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

200 g butter
1/3 cup whole blanched almond
3/4 cup icing sugar, sifted
3/4 cup caster sugar
3 eggs, separated
3/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/4 teaspoon almond essence
2 1/4 cups flour

icing sugar, to finish

Steps:

  • Set the oven at moderate (180C/350F).
  • Grease a 6-7 cup fluted ring cake mould with 30g of butter, putting large dabs in the creases of the mould and embedding an almond in each dab. Put in the refrigerator to set while preparing the mixture.
  • Cream the remaining butter well. Gradually beat in the sugars, beating well between each addition. Add the egg yolks one at a time, and beat until smooth. Stir in the vanilla and almond essences. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt three times and fold into the creamed mixture alternately with the milk.
  • Whisk the egg whites until stiff, stir a spoonful into the cake mixture and, when incorporated, fold in the remaining whites carefully and lightly using a large metal spoon.

Dip Marshmallow fluff in the center of the cake. Filling up the entire middle. Once center is filled, blend fluff and frosting to meet up together. Generously sprinkle walnuts [or pecans] and shredded coconuts on top of fluff. I used walnuts. Serve.

GERMAN CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE

This is a different and easy way to enjoy german chocolate cake. I found this recipe on divinerecipes.com and wanted to post it here on Zaar with my favorites. Make sure the bundt pan is greased and floured well so that the cake doesn't stick. I did not use the caramel topping as a glaze after the cake cooled, thought it might be too much. Let me know what you think! Hope you enjoy!
