Como fazer German Chocolate Cake With Coconut Pecan Frosting

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans; line bottoms with parchment paper.
  2. Melt 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate and 1/4 cup water in a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 4 large egg yolks, one at a time, then stir in the melted chocolate and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Alternately add the dry ingredients and 1 cup buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
  9. Divide batter evenly among the prepared pans.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
  12. For the frosting:
  13. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup milk, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 4 large egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  14. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and turns a light golden brown.
  15. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups light shredded coconut and 1 cup pecan halves.
  16. Let cool completely to room temperature, stirring occasionally, until the frosting is spreadable.
  17. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the layers and the top and sides of the cake with the coconut-pecan frosting.
