Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box German chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions using water, oil, and eggs. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- While the cake is still warm, poke holes all over the top using the end of a wooden spoon.
- Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
- In a bowl, mix chopped pecans, shredded coconut, softened butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread this frosting over the cooled cake.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to set the flavors.
Notes
For a richer version, add extra chocolate chips to the batter. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
