How to Make Garth Brook's German Chocolate Cake With Coconut Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the coconut, pecans, and flour. Stir this mixture into the batter.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting:
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the evaporated milk, coconut, pecans, and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Once cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with half the frosting. Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting. (Double the frosting recipe for extra frosting, as Garth prefers!)
