MARSHMALLOW FLUFF
3 large egg whites
2/3 c plus 2 tablespn of sugar (confectioner's)
3/4 c light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
OPTIONAL
1/2 c walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Cooked Coconut-Pecan Frosting: Place a medium saucepan, over medium heat. Melt 4 ounces (1 stick) Butter. Whisk in: 3 Tablespoons Flour 1 1/2 cups Sugar
  • 2. Then slowly pour in: 1 1/2 cups Milk Whisk until thickened - about 6 minutes.
  • 3. Remove from heat and stir in: 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract 1 cup Coconut, shredded 1/2 cup Pecans, chopped
  • 4. Mix a German Chocolate Cake according to package directions. Spray a 10 - 12 cup Bundt pan with non-stick baking spray. Pour 2/3 of the batter into the bundt pan, then scoop half of the frosting into the center of the batter, trying to keep it from touching the sides of the pan.
  • 5. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cake to sit for about 25 minutes before turning out onto the serving plate.
  • 6. Prepare the Homemade Marshmallow Fluff: Yield: Around 3 cups In a large bowl, combine egg whites, corn syrup and salt; beat with mixer in high speed for 10 minutes or until thick. Add in confectioner's sugar; beat on low speed until blended. Continue to beat until soft peaks form. Beat in vanilla around 2 more minutes, until mixture looks like marshmallow fluff.
  • 7. Frost cool cake with the remaining Coconut-Pecan Frosting. Do not frost the inner circle of the bundt cake. Leave unfrosted to insert Marshmallow fluff. 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!

Time 55m

Yield 1 cake, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box German chocolate cake mix
1 (3 1/2 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups water
4 eggs
0.5 (12 1/4 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
  • Combine first six ingredients in a large bowl and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Pour batter into prepared Bundt pan. Pour the 1/2 jar of caramel topping on the batter and then swirl it into the batter.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven. Let cool for about 10 minutes and remove from pan.
  • Let cool for about 25 minutes and then drizzle the remaining 1/2 jar of caramel topping over cake.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. This means using real butter, eggs, and chocolate.
  • Make sure the cake is completely cool before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can bake the cake in two 9-inch round pans. Just increase the baking time by about 10 minutes.
  • For a richer cake, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
  • If you want a more decadent cake, add a layer of chocolate ganache between the cake layers.
  • Garnish the cake with chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or fresh berries for a special touch.
