German Chocolate Cake



When it comes to cake, German Chocolate is my favorite. When Mike and I were married, he told me he did not like coconut so a German Chocolate Cake was something he would not eat. Now this is the cake as requests for his birthday each year! Give it a try, it may become one of your favorites as well!









German Chocolate Cake
from Lion House Dessert Cookbook

Cake:

1 pkg white or yellow cake mix
1 pkg (3 oz) instant chocolate pudding
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
3 egg whites, beaten stiff

* A cake mix already contains pudding mix may be used. Prepare according to package directions.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 pan. Set aside. Combine cake mix, flour and milk and beat according to cake package directions. Fold in egg whites. Spoon into prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Frost with Coconut Pecan Frosting.

Coconut Pecan Frosting:

3 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cup flaked coconut
1 cup pecans, chopped

Combine yolks, sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla in a large saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 12-15 minutes. Be careful to stir mixture constantly or it will burn. Add coconut and pecans. Stir until thick enough to spread. Makes 3 cups.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
