GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE ICING / FROSTING



German Chocolate Cake Icing / Frosting image

I never liked German Chocolate cake until I met my husband and got this recipe from my mother in law. It is soooo good! It's also horribly unhealthy for you but sometimes it's worth it to indulge! I always have to make it for my hubby's birthday and now my dad's birthday as well! As a note, this recipe is for the icing & we just buy a box of mix for the cake. Please note a few things: 1) Be sure to stir the mix every few seconds on the stove to avoid sticking 2) Be sure the mix comes to a strong, rolling boil to provide a smooth texture by reducing those sugar grains 3) This is a caramel type icing and won't adhere to the sides of the cake well 4) I usually premeasure the milk, coconut, & pecans to help things move along quickly. Enjoy!!

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE FROSTING FOR TRADITIONAL 3 LAYER CAKE



German Chocolate Cake Frosting for Traditional 3 Layer Cake image

This recipe makes a lot of frosting so that you will have plenty to put between each of the 3 layers of round cake. If you are a lover of this frosting like I am then even if you place them on a large single layer cake you will have enough. In my humble opinion it is the frosting which makes German Chocolate Cake so special. Substitutions don't work for me when it comes to this frosting. Especially NOT those canned versions.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your frosting. For example, use real butter instead of margarine, and use good-quality cocoa powder.
  • Make sure the ingredients are at room temperature before you start. This will help them mix together smoothly.
  • Don't overbeat the frosting. If you overbeat it, it will become stiff and grainy.
  • If the frosting is too thick, you can add a little bit of milk or cream. If it's too thin, you can add a little bit of powdered sugar.
  • Refrigerate the frosting for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help it firm up and make it easier to spread.
