B. B. KING'S GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE
I went to B.B. King's club in New York City to see Johnny Winter play and enjoyed it so much! In honor of B.B. I am posting his German Chocolate Cake! Adapted from recipegoldmine. UPDATE: Due to a helpful review, I have added more chocolate to the ingredients.

- Preheat oven to 350*F.
- Melt the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of the butter in heavy bottom pan. Let cool.
- Cream together remaining butter and sugar in medium bowl. Beat in egg yolks. Stir in vanilla and cocoa powder and chocolate mixture. Sift together dry ingredients. Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk to chocolate mixture.
- Beat egg whites until stiff in large bowl. Gently fold in chocolate mixture. Pour cake batter evenly into the three prepared round cake pans. Bake at 350*F. for 30 minutes or until cake springs back. Let cool on racks.
- Frosting:.
- Combine evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks and butter in a saucepan. Add vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until thickened (thick enough to coat back of spoon). Remove from heat. Stir in coconut and pecans. Cool until thick enough to spread over cake.
- Place 1 cake layer on plate. Spread frosting evenly over top. Repeat with remaining layers. Spread remaining frosting evenly over sides of cake. Serve. Enjoy!
