Instructions:<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Make the Cake<\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Prep Oven & Pans:<\/strong>\u00a0Preheat your oven to\u00a0350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans thoroughly.<\/li>\n
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients:<\/strong>\u00a0In a large bowl, whisk together the\u00a0flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder<\/strong>, and\u00a0salt<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  3. Add Wet Ingredients:<\/strong>\u00a0Add the\u00a0buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs<\/strong>, and\u00a0vanilla extract<\/strong> to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth.\n
      \n
    1. Incorporate Hot Water:<\/strong>\u00a0Carefully stir in the\u00a0hot water<\/strong>\u00a0(or hot coffee for a richer chocolate flavor). The batter will be thin, which is normal for this cake.<\/li>\n
    2. Bake:<\/strong>\u00a0Divide the batter evenly between the three prepared cake pans. Bake for\u00a0<\/span>30\u201335 minutes<\/span><\/strong>, or until a toothpick inserted into the center<\/span>\u00a0of a cake layer comes out clean.<\/li>\n
    3. Cool:<\/strong>\u00a0Let the cake layers cool in their pans for\u00a0<\/span>10 minutes<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0before carefully inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.<\/span>\u00a0Ensure they are fully cool before frosting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Make the Frosting<\/h5>\n
        \n
      1. Cook Custard Base:<\/strong>\u00a0In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the\u00a0evaporated milk, granulated sugar, egg yolks<\/strong>, and\u00a0unsalted butter<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      2. Thicken:<\/strong>\u00a0Cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk, for about\u00a010\u201312 minutes<\/strong>, or until it thickens to a custard-like consistency. It should coat the back of a spoon.<\/li>\n
      3. Finish Frosting:<\/strong>\u00a0Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the\u00a0vanilla extract, sweetened shredded coconut<\/strong>, and\u00a0chopped pecans<\/strong>. Let the frosting cool to room temperature before assembling the cake. It will thicken further as it cools.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        Assemble the Cake<\/h5>\n
          \n
        1. Layer First:<\/strong>\u00a0Place one cooled cake layer on your serving plate or cake stand. Spread about a third of the\u00a0coconut-pecan frosting<\/strong>\u00a0evenly over the top.<\/li>\n
        2. Repeat Layers:<\/strong>\u00a0Carefully place the second cake layer on top, then spread another third of the frosting. Repeat with the third cake layer and the remaining frosting.<\/li>\n
        3. Optional Sides:<\/strong>\u00a0Traditionally, German chocolate cake only has frosting between the layers and on top, leaving the sides exposed to reveal the rich chocolate cake. However, you can optionally leave the sides unfrosted, or if you prefer, cover them with any remaining frosting or a simple chocolate ganache for a different look.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
