ADVERTISEMENT

Introduction
A luscious, rich dessert that combines moist German chocolate cake with gooey caramel, sweetened condensed milk, and a creamy coconut-pecan topping. Perfect for special occasions or any time you crave a crowd-pleaser!

Ingredients
For the cake:

1 box German chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on box: eggs, oil, water)

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

1 (12 oz) jar caramel sauce or topping

For the topping:

1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

1 cup chopped pecans

1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

Optional: additional drizzle of caramel or chocolate syrup for serving

How to Make
Bake the cake: Prepare and bake the cake according to the package instructions in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Let it cool about 10 minutes.

Poke holes: Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes about 1 inch apart all over the cake.

Pour on the goodness: While warm, pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes. Then drizzle with caramel sauce.

Cool completely: Let the cake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour (longer is better).

Top it off: Spread whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake. Sprinkle with shredded coconut and chopped pecans.

Serve: Drizzle with caramel or chocolate syrup if desired. Slice and serve chilled.

Serving & Storage Tips
Toast coconut and pecans for extra crunch and flavor before topping.

Cake tastes better the next day — store in the fridge covered tightly.

Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Variations
Add chocolate syrup drizzle for an extra chocolate boost.

Substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
