To make this Easter German Chocolate Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water

For the frosting:

- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well. Add in the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the boiling water until well combined. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a medium saucepan, combine the evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in the coconut and pecans. Let the frosting cool to room temperature.
Once the cakes have finished baking, let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them from the pans and placing them on a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cakes have cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
This Easter German Chocolate Cake is a perfect combination of rich chocolate cake, sweet coconut, and crunchy pecans. The cake is moist and tender, while the frosting is creamy and full of flavor. This dessert is sure to be a hit at any Easter gathering.
