German Chocolate Cake: A Rich and Decadent Classic

3. Assemble the Cake

Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of coconut-pecan frosting on top.
Add the second cake layer and repeat the process.
Place the third cake layer on top and cover it with the remaining frosting.
Optionally, drizzle melted chocolate over the cake for an extra decadent touch.

Tips for the Perfect German Chocolate Cake

✔ Use Room-Temperature Ingredients: This ensures a smoother batter and even baking.
✔ Don’t Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can lead to a dense cake. Fold in the egg whites gently for a lighter texture.
✔ Let the Frosting Cool: The coconut-pecan frosting thickens as it cools, making it easier to spread.
✔ Store Properly: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
