Inside Out German Chocolate Cake

Inside Out German Chocolate Cake

1 cup softened Butter

2 cups White Sugar

5 Egg Whites

5 Egg Yolks

2 cups Flour

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

1 cup Buttermilk

1 cup Coconut

1 cup chopped Pecans

1 teaspoon Vanilla

Cream butter and sugar, then add egg yolks, buttermilk, coconut, nuts and vanilla. When mixed blend in flour. Whip egg whites into stiff peaks and fold into cake batter ‘til thoroughly mixed. Grease a 9x13 pan or 2 round 8 or 9 inch pans. I often use a 10 or 12 inch spring form pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 25 minutes or til a toothpick comes out clean.

Chocolate Buttercream

1 cup Butter softened

3 1/2 - 4 cups Powdered Sugar

4 tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream

Blend butter and sugar and Cream 'til creamy, then turn on high and whip 'til light and fluffy.

Frost and top with German sweet chocolate shavings.

This cake is also exceptional with the following frosting:

½ cup Butter

1 cup Powdered Sugar

2-3 Tablespoons Heavy whipping Cream

1 cup chopped Pecans

Cream butter and sugar then slowly add cream and whip on high speed 3-4 minutes ‘til light and fluffy. Fold in pecans and frost cake. If you’re making a double layer cake you will want to double the frosting.
