How to Make German Chocolate Cake Frosting
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup butter over medium heat.
- Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer and thickens, about 12-15 minutes. Be patient – this allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut and 1 cup chopped pecans. Beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until the frosting is thick and spreadable (about 2-3 minutes).
- Let the frosting cool slightly before spreading onto your cooled German Chocolate cake. Enjoy!
