Prep Time 40 minutes

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ German chocolate cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
4 egg yolks
1 package (7 oz) flaked coconut (2 2/3 cups)
2 cups chopped pecans
3 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy chocolate frosting (from 1-lb container)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms only of 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with shortening. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 9-inch round pans, using water, oil and eggs. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely.
  • In 3-quart heavy saucepan, mix sugar, butter, milk and egg yolks. Heat to simmering over medium heat, stirring frequently. Cook 9 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in coconut, pecans and vanilla. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
