Ingredients

  • 1 box German chocolate cake mix
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs.

Beat until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 4: In another bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk with 1/2 cup of caramel sauce until smooth.

Using a wooden spoon handle, poke holes in the cake at 1-inch intervals.

Pour the caramel mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.

Step 5: In a separate bowl, whip the softened butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and remaining caramel sauce, mixing until smooth.

Step 6: Fold in the chopped pecans and shredded coconut. Spread the frosting over the cake and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.
