DELICIOUS 3 LAYER GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE
This was my favorite dessert when I was a child, my mom's specialty. I requested it every year for my birthday. The Coconut Butter Pecan Frosting is to die for! You can't get that kind of flavor out of a can! =)

Steps:
- 1. CAKE- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 9" round cake pans.
- 2. Stir together cocoa and water in small bowl until smooth. Set aside. Beat butter, sugar and vanilla in large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- 3. Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Add to butter mixture alternately with chocolate mixture and buttermilk beating only until blended, no more. Pour batter into prepared pans.
- 4. Bake 25-30 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Cool for 5 minutes then remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.
- 5. COCONUT BUTTER PECAN FROSTING- Stir together sweetened condensed milk, beaten egg yolks and butter in medium saucepan. Cook gently over low heat stirring constantly, until mixture has thickened and is bubbly. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla, coconut and pecans. Cool to room temp. Frosting yield is about 2 2/3 cups.
- 6. Spread frosting between layers and top only. (Trim inner layers of cake tops with bread knife if cake domes, leaving top layer domed, or as desired.)
