GERMAN CHOCOLATE BANANA CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease and flour 13x9" pan or two 9" cake pans.
• In large bowl, combine cake mix, bananas, water, oil and eggs.
• Beat at low speed until moistened; beat 2 minutes at highest speed.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

• In small bowl, combine frosting and mashed bananas.
• If making layers, use a small amount to fill and ice the cake with the rest.

GERMAN CHOCOLATE ICING

Steps:

• Put butter in a sauce pan and let it melt.
• Add milk, sugar, vanilla and whisk in egg yolks.
• Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture starts to bubble and then cook for about nine (9) minutes stirring constantly.
• Pour over coconut and pecans and mix.
• I usually put the nuts and coconut in a metal bowl and then poor the hot mixture over them to help with cooling.
• If you are in a hurry, put the mixture in the refrigerator stirring occasionally until it is cool and thick enough to ice your cake.
• I find that box cakes are just fine for this.

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE ICING

Steps:

• Bring brown sugar, milk, and butter to a boil in a large saucepan, stirring occasionally. Boil until icing thickens and reaches 240 degrees F to 245 degrees F (115 degrees C to 118 degrees C) on a candy thermometer, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in coconut and pecans. If icing is too thick, thin with milk to desired consistency.
