Jon's Favorite German Chocolate Bithday Cake

My family loves this cake!

You can find this recipe on the inside of Baker's German Chocolate Squares. I never can remember all the ingredients and end up opening the chocolate squares in the store to make sure I don't forget something.  Here is the frosting recipe.

Coconut-Pecan Filling and Frosting
4 egg yolks

1 can evaporated milk 12 oz
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 pkg angel flake coconut 7 oz
11/2 cups chopped pecans
1 cup whole pecans

BEAT egg yolks, milk and vanilla in large saucepan with whisk until well blended. Add sugar and butter; cook on medium heat 12 min. or until thickened and golden brown, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.

ADD coconut and nuts; mix well. Cool to desired spreading consistency

Yummy!!
