This German Chocolate Sheet Cake reminds me of childhood memories that I spent in Germany with my cousins. When I was a teenager, I traveled every summer to a small town close to Frankfurt in Germany. One of my favourite things about those summer holidays were the delicious baked goods, just like this cake.
To make the cake, start by baking German chocolate cake mix for about 15 minutes. Top with a mixture of sweetened condensed milk, flaked coconut and chopped pecans and broil until golden. To make the frosting, combine butter, powdered sugar, cocoa, vanilla and milk until smooth and slather all over the cake. Simple. Delicious.
To make German Chocolate Sheet Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Heat oven to 350 °F. Lightly coat a 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray.
Make a package of German chocolate cake mix with water, oil and eggs according to the package directions. Transfer to a pan and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Switch the oven to the broil setting.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 can of sweetened condensed milk with ½ a cup of flaked coconut and ½ a cup of chopped pecans. Spread the topping over warm cake.
Broil for about 2 minutes on the lowest oven rack until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat ½ a cup of butter with one box of powdered sugar, ⅓ cup of cocoa and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Gradually add ⅓ cup of milk and continue to beat until the frosting is completely smooth.
Once the cake is cool, frost.
Serve from the refrigerator.
