Time 1h20m

Yield 10-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

200 g butter
1/3 cup whole blanched almond

  • 4. Mix a German Chocolate Cake according to package directions. Spray a 10 - 12 cup Bundt pan with non-stick baking spray. Pour 2/3 of the batter into the bundt pan, then scoop half of the frosting into the center of the batter, trying to keep it from touching the sides of the pan.

Generously sprinkle walnuts [or pecans] and shredded coconuts on top of fluff. I used walnuts. Serve.

GERMAN CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE



German Chocolate Bundt Cake image

This is a different and easy way to enjoy german chocolate cake. I found this recipe on divinerecipes.com and wanted to post it here on Zaar with my favorites. Make sure the bundt pan is greased and floured well so that the cake doesn't stick. I did not use the caramel topping as a glaze after the cake cooled, thought it might be too much. Let me know what you think! Hope you enjoy!

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 1 cake, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box German chocolate cake mix
1 (3 1/2 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups water
4 eggs
0.5 (12 1/4 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
  • Combine first six ingredients in a large bowl and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Pour batter into prepared Bundt pan. Pour the 1/2 jar of caramel topping on the batter and then swirl it into the batter.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven. Let cool for about 10 minutes and remove from pan.
  • Let cool for about 25 minutes and then drizzle the remaining 1/2 jar of caramel topping over cake.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Use fresh, unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, and good quality flour.
  • Make sure all of your ingredients are properly measured before mixing them together.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too thick or lumpy.
  • Bake the cake according to the recipe instructions. Every oven is different, so keep an eye on the cake to make sure it doesn't overbake.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing or frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting or becoming runny.

Conclusion:

This German Bundt cake is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and tender crumb, rich flavor, and beautiful appearance, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this German Bundt cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
