German Chocolate Cake Recipe

Our customers enjoy this cake because it’s so moist, unlike other German Chocolates.

Truth is, pro caterers seldom make cakes from scratch. But we sure do when a recipe is this good. Caterer’s Cake Secrets gives you lots of simpler ideas, especially for larger parties.

Remember that good baking is more like careful chemistry. Measure your ingredients, avoid substitutions, and use ASK-a-CATERER for free party recipes and ideas.

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup plain yogurt
4 ounces German sweet chocolate
1 cup Coke
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° . Spray the inside of 2 - 9” pans with vegetable release. For easy removal, dust the pan with cocoa, so that it sticks to the veggie spray. Shake out the excess.

In a medium saucepan, heat butter, yogurt, chocolate and cola until chocolate is completely melted.

In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and baking soda. Add chocolate mixture, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Pour batter into two 9 inch round pans.

Bake at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes, looking for a nice crown in the middle which feels firm to your touch.

We like to add some pecans and coconut to this Frosting recipe: Chocolate Fudge Frosting
