Ingredients
For the Cake:
•1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
•2 cups granulated sugar
•4 large eggs
•2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
•1 teaspoon baking powder
•½ teaspoon salt
•1 cup whole milk
•1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•1 cup German sweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
•1 cup chopped pecans
•½ cup shredded sweetened coconut
For the Coconut-Pecan Topping:
•1 cup evaporated milk
•½ cup unsalted butter
•¾ cup brown sugar, packed
•3 large egg yolks
•1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
•1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or a large loaf pan to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Make the Cake Batter
1.In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
2.Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3.In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4.Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
5.Stir in the vanilla extract, melted German chocolate, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut.
6.Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
Bake for 60–70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4: Prepare the Coconut-Pecan Topping
1.In a saucepan over medium heat, combine evaporated milk, butter, brown sugar, and egg yolks. Stir continuously until thickened (about 8–10 minutes).
2.Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, coconut, and pecans. Let cool slightly before spreading over the cooled cake.
Step 5: Assemble and Serve
Spread the coconut-pecan topping over the cake, allowing it to cascade down the sides. Serve slices warm or at room temperature.
Enjoy this Decadent German Chocolate Pecan Pound Cake Delight with a cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat! 🍫🥥🍰
