Ingredients
Scale
1 package German chocolate cake mix (or any chocolate variety)
3 large eggs
1 cup water
Dash of salt (optional)
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour the dry cake mix directly into the pan, forming a mound in the center.
- Make a small well in the center of the mound and crack in the eggs. Add the water and a pinch of salt if using.
- Using a fork, gently mix everything together right in the pan until the batter is smooth and evenly spread out.
- Sprinkle the flaked coconut evenly over the top of the cake batter.
- Follow with the chopped, toasted pecans, scattering them across the coconut.
- Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the entire surface.
- Bake for 43 to 48 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Notes
Toasting the pecans adds extra flavor—just heat in a skillet for 5–7 minutes.
Be gentle when mixing in the pan to avoid overworking the batter.
This cake stores well and tastes even better the next day!
