We had a little German themed dinner with pretzels, schnitzel, cabbage, and roasted potatoes so I wanted to follow through with a German dessert. I was feeling a bit lazy and decided to simplify German Chocolate Cake, a lot. I’m a little embarrassed by just how easy this was to make.
Simplified German Chocolate Cake
- 1 recipe for a 9×13 chocolate cake (this is a easy one bowl recipe)
- 2/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
- 2/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1. Cut Chocolate Cake into squares, any size you want.
2. In a large bowl, stir together coconut, pecans, and condensed milk.
3. Spoon over each piece of cake. Too easy right?
That look so good, and so easy! I don’t make big, fancy layer cakes that often, I usually don’t have the time, so this looks like a great substitute.
Jessica, I genuflect before anything that has the words cake, coconut and chocolate in it.
And I’ve had German Chocolate Cake before, so I know your cake is as delicious as it looks. And now, I’m tempted to make your easy, and dangerously-delectable rendition.
Heaven help me.
Too bad you made it look that easy. Now we’re forced to make it ourselves…
every once in awhile, i’ll see something that makes me want to tilt my head back and pour said substance directly down my throat. this is one of those times.
Too delicious is more like it!
You shouldn’t be embarrassed by how easy it was to make! It still looks delightful!!
How embarassing! I justsaid MMMM out looud. My kids are looking at me like I am a nut!
Yo this cake tasted really good. I called all the ingredients in this thing on top even though there were so few : )
Wow, that looks so good and easy
But German chocolate cake isn’t German at all! It is derived from a recipe listed on the back of a product from the old “German Chocolate” company! It’s from the Southern United States

Anonymous, how funny! thanks
That looks so good and it sounds so simple!
Wow–this looks so amazing!
Excellent! I may have to make this cake over the winter break! Thanks for sending it for the 5 star makeover!
I LOVE German chocolate cake (who doesn’t) but it is SUCh a hassle to make. Thanks for this! You’ve solved that dilemma. Looks amazing.
Oh, yum! German Chocolate Cake is my favorite, but I rarely make it. This makes it too easy *not* to make. I’ll be whipping this up tomorrow. Thanks!
Hi, everything is going perfectly here and ofcourse every one is sharing information, that’s genuinely excellent, keep up writing.
