Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 1 box German chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box: eggs, oil, water)
- 1 small box (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)
For the Frosting:
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 egg yolks, beaten
- ½ cup butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions:
- Bake the cake: Prepare the cake mix according to package directions, but mix in pudding mix, sour cream, and chocolate chips for extra richness. Pour into a greased 9×13-inch pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- Make the frosting: In a saucepan, whisk together evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 10–12 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, coconut, and pecans.
- Frost the cake: Spread the warm frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
- Set & serve: Allow frosting to set before slicing into squares.
