Today I preferred to bake the German Chocolate cake recipe, as it is a very quick and easy preparation. If you want me to explain about this cake, I would definitely compare this cake to a banana.
Yes, this cake is a little dense and moist, but for sure very soft and just melts in the mouth. Nevertheless, to say here, my son loves it the most.
Summer has officially started here, and so is the summer vacation. My teen son is the person who is enjoying his vacation to the maximum extent.
He is making me jealous of not having these kinds of interactive Xbox games in my childhood. He calls his friends online, he shoots, hides, runs, giggles, and also speaks with his friends online while playing.
Wow! I missed these things in my life.

3. Whisk it for 1 min and beat the flour for 2-3 min.
4. Add diluted cocoa mixture a little at a time and continue to beat the batter, till reaches thick pouring consistency.
5. Pour the batter into the baking pan. Fill it to 50% of its capacity, this allows getting raised evenly.
6. Bake it in the preheated oven at 350° for 35-40 min (depending on your oven's performance), or until it gets done. Test it by inserting a skewer or toothpick into the middle of the cake, if it comes out clean, Yeah..you are right, the cake was done perfectly. Remove it from the oven, let it cool.
7. For the topping: In a pan add butter and melt it on a stovetop over low heat, add condensed milk, sugar, and corn syrup. Stir it continuously for 2 min, until the mixture starts thickening. Remove it from the fire, add toasted pecans, toasted flaked coconut, and vanilla extract.
Spread this mixture to the warm cake(This is the last spoon of frosting, sorry I missed to click in the beginning).
Spread the topping evenly and allow it to cool to room temperature. Slice German Chocolate cake and enjoy it.
