ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- Four large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup sour cream
Method
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Step 2
Grease and flour a bundt pan or a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Cream the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and melted German sweet chocolate. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped, toasted pecans. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, sugar, egg yolks, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, shredded coconut, and toasted pecans. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
