German Chocolate Sprinkle Cake
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts if preferred)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan (or any cake pan of your choice).
2. Make the cake batter:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
3. Bake the cake:
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Prepare the topping:
- While the cake is cooling, make the topping. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans.
5. Assemble the cake:
- Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the coconut-pecan topping generously over the cake.
6. Add sprinkles:
- Finish by adding colorful sprinkles on top of the topping for a fun and festive touch.
7. Serve and enjoy:
- Slice the cake and enjoy the sweet, nutty flavor of the German Chocolate Sprinkle Cake!
