German Chocolate Layer Cake


Prep Time 45 / Cooking Time 25 mins / Chilling Time 1 Hour / Serves 14-16

WARNING: Delicious and decadent!

This German Chocolate Layer Cake  has been a show stopper at three events in the last three weeks. Once I made it the first time, I had orders from family and friends!! I feel like I have unlocked the secret to making the perfect chocolate cake.

The beauty of this recipe is the hard work is done in advance. When guests arrive their eyes fall upon the the towering decadent chocolate layer cake. Little do they know the surprise of the creamy coconut -pecan filling is yet to come.

There are three stages to this show stopper.
1) Two chocolate layer round cakes
2) Creamy coconut pecan filling
3) Chocolate ganache frosting

Tip: Making in advance not only is convenient but necessary for the cake to set.


Enjoy!
