Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 15 servings

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package Pillsbury® Moist Supreme® German Chocolate Cake Mix

  • 1 cup water

  • 3 large eggs

  • ½ cup Crisco® Pure Vegetable Oil

  • 1 (14 ounce) can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk, divided

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 1 large egg yolk

  • cup chopped pecans

  • cup flaked coconut

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 13x9-inch baking pan.

  2. Beat cake mix, water, eggs, oil, and 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, combine remaining sweetened condensed milk, butter, and egg yolk in a medium saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until thickened, about 6 minutes. Add pecans, coconut, and vanilla; mix well. Allow frosting to cool slightly.

  5. Spread frosting over warm cake. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator.
