welcome back everyone we are making a
0:04
German chocolate poke cake it is the
0:08
ultimate cake recipe for the fall it's
0:11
going to be delicious we're going to
0:13
make it Easy by using a boxed cake mix
0:17
we're going to bake the cake we're going
0:19
to poke holes in the cake we're going to
0:22
drizzle a delicious ooey gooey mixture
0:25
over the cake get it into the holes of
0:28
that cake so every bite is delicious and
0:31
then I'm going to make the ultimate
0:34
icing for this cake is a German
0:36
chocolate cake and that icing it's going
0:38
to look like that there's coconut in it
0:42
okay y'all let's get started I'm in a
0:44
large bowl we're going to open up the
0:47
box of cake mix and add it to the large
0:50
bowl now this is a perfectly moist
0:53
German chocolate cake mix the size is
0:58
15.25 Oz
1:01
now we're going to be following the
1:03
directions on the back of the
1:05
box so if you're using a cake mix that's
1:09
less in ounces than this one here or
1:12
even maybe more ounces than this one
1:14
here that's totally fine just follow
1:17
your instructions on the back of the box
1:21
okay M that's the first
1:27
step now what we're going to do is make
1:30
this Bakery style you can skip this
1:32
whole step if you want to but why would
1:35
you want to skip the step it's not that
1:38
more difficult than what we're fixing to
1:40
do Bakery style means you add an extra
1:44
egg you change your oil to melted
1:50
butter and then you change milk from
1:56
water so to our mix right here we're
1:58
going to add four
2:05
eggs
2:11
two let me get a little Bowl
2:13
here make sure we're not getting shells
2:15
in
2:21
there four eggs now I just brought these
2:23
to room
2:26
temperature okay on the back of the
2:28
package it says
2:30
half a cup of vegetable oil or you can
2:33
change that to the half a cup of melted
2:35
butter I cool down the melted butter
2:37
just a little bit so it doesn't scramble
2:39
the eggs when we add it in there so make
2:42
sure you do
2:44
that and one cup of milk instead of the
2:48
water but like I said you do not have to
2:51
do that if you don't want
2:53
to all right I'm bringing my electric
2:56
hand mixer over I use this because it'll
2:59
make it nice and
3:02
fluffy all right we're going to beat
3:04
this for 2 minutes get it nice and
3:07
erated in
3:13
there when I was young there was always
3:16
German chocolate cake in the
3:18
refrigerator I seem to remember the
3:20
Peppa Farm one came in a box and you
3:24
would just take slices out of it now my
3:27
husband is not a fan of German chocolate
3:30
cake because it has coconut involved but
3:34
I already made him a dessert so he's
3:36
happy so he's allowing this
3:41
one to leave the
3:44
house it's going to my mom though I'm
3:48
taking a few slices so all of it's not
3:50
going
3:51
but she's going to share it with some
3:54
people that come over to her house
3:57
they're from the church so this will
3:59
make I'm happy nice German chocolate
4:02
cake all right it's getting very fluffy
4:05
in there and that's what we want I'm
4:06
going to take my spatula here we're
4:08
going to pull down the sides make sure
4:10
all the powder is
4:16
incorporated all right that's
4:19
done going to put it on low just
4:22
to get all that off there there we go
4:26
we're going to bring over our 9x13
4:28
baking dish we're going to spray it with
4:31
some nonstick cooking spray I use the
4:33
kind that has the flour in it just
4:36
really helps release the pieces of cake
4:37
from the baking dish
4:42
hereo all right that's coming out kind
4:44
of
4:45
strange but we do have it covered there
4:49
let's take our
4:50
batter pour it into the baking dish and
4:54
then we're going to smooth it out nice
4:56
and evenly
5:09
do have a little extra grease in there
5:11
don't I that's okay though that's
5:14
okay it's very thick so you got to get
5:18
it where you want
5:22
it take a
5:25
knife because you know this is a piece
5:27
of cake right here left on here
5:30
you want it all in
5:33
there here we
5:36
go okay I'm just cleaning off my baking
5:39
dish making sure that all of the grease
5:41
is off the edges here and the sides that
5:46
way it doesn't drip into our oven all
5:48
right we're going to bake this in a
5:50
preheated oven at
5:53
350° you want to bake it per the
5:55
directions on the back of the package
5:58
this is a 9 by 13 so we're going to bake
6:01
it for 22 to 27 minutes you want to make
6:05
sure that it's nice and puffy on the top
6:08
the sides have pulled away just a little
6:10
bit we're going to be back I'm going to
6:12
show you the Second Step okay I've just
6:14
pulled this out of the oven I'm going to
6:16
take a
6:17
toothpick I've already tested it but I
6:19
just want to show you that you want to
6:21
make sure that you put it into the
6:22
center of the
6:23
cake all the way down come up it should
6:26
be nice and clean they can have a chrome
6:29
it that's totally fine that just means
6:31
it's cooked all right we're going to let
6:32
this sit here for just a few minutes and
6:35
then we're going to make the stuff we're
6:37
going to fill the cake with in a medium
6:39
Bowl we're going to add one can of
6:41
sweetened condensed milk this is 14
6:46
oz now you know what's happening
6:49
huh
6:52
yeah the perfect fall
6:55
dessert for sure all right I'm going to
6:59
go ahead and just kind of squeeze that
7:04
out oh yeah this is the good stuff
7:09
here to that we're going to add 12 oz of
7:13
a caramel all right this is like a
7:15
caramel
7:16
sauce going to put in 12
7:21
oz be about 2/3 of this container
7:25
here that feels good right there
7:30
blend this
7:34
together my gosh this is going to be
7:38
very
7:45
decadent all right let's give that a
7:49
try that's
7:58
good okay
8:01
just washed my hands let's talk about
8:03
poking the holes in the cake right
8:05
here you want something kind of large
8:09
you don't want to use like fork or a
8:11
toothpick or anything like that to get
8:13
your holes CU you really want that sauce
8:14
to go into the cake nice and thick I am
8:18
using a large straw and I'm going to go
8:20
in and poke the holes in with that if
8:22
you have a wooden spoon and the back end
8:25
of it and you can poke holes with that
8:26
that's totally fine so we're going to
8:28
start right here
8:30
poke your
8:32
holes this would be a good cake to put
8:34
out for
8:36
Thanksgiving I would put about one inch
8:38
in between your holes here that way it
8:40
doesn't break into the other holes you
8:43
want every bite to have that delicious
8:47
mixture in
8:53
it
8:56
okay this was the straw that I used
8:58
right here just fits into those big
9:00
tumbler
9:04
cups okay we're going to take our
9:06
caramel sweetened condensed milk mixture
9:09
and pour it all over the cake aim for
9:11
those
9:15
holes just like
9:25
that this is a great cake to bring out
9:29
around the holidays it's decadent it
9:32
deserves all the
9:34
glory on your dessert table all right
9:37
I'm going to put the rest kind of over
9:38
the
9:44
cake just take your offset spatula and
9:47
if you need to just smooth it
9:58
out make sure all the holes are filled
10:00
there we
10:04
go I can't help
10:07
it delicious we're going to need to cool
10:11
down the cake completely before we ice
10:14
the cake I'm going to put it in my
10:16
refrigerator for about an hour and see
10:18
if that does that and then we're going
10:20
to make that delicious icing you know
10:22
the one it's got the coconut it's got
10:24
pecans it's ooey gooey we still have to
10:27
top the cake okay the cake is almost
10:30
cooled down completely we are going to
10:33
make a pecan coconut frosting to ice our
10:36
cake with and it's really simple we only
10:39
have seven ingredients here to put this
10:42
together we have packed brown sugar
10:44
sweetened coconut flakes pecan pieces
10:49
milk
10:51
vanilla
10:52
butter and salt once we make it we're
10:55
going to cool it down completely so that
10:57
we can ice our cake so we're going to
10:59
start in a large sauce pan and we're
11:02
going to place in one stick of butter
11:05
which is half a
11:09
cup we're going to put the burner on a
11:12
medium heat and we're going to melt that
11:15
entirely the butter is nice and melted
11:18
we're going to add
11:19
in 1 and 13 cups of brown sugar that was
11:24
packed
11:30
8 oz of shredded coconut this is
11:36
sweetened 1 cup chopped
11:40
pecans 1/4 cup of
11:44
milk4 teaspoon of vanilla
11:49
extract 1/4 teaspoon of
11:53
salt we're going to mix this all
11:57
together it nice nice and combined now
12:01
this recipe my mom swears by this
12:03
frosting right here it's the fastest way
12:06
you can make it but I'm going to think
12:08
the fastest way you get a can of the
12:11
coconut pecan frosting from your store
12:14
and just whip it across your cake but
12:17
y'all this is
12:20
good I want y'all to look at this once
12:22
you get this all combined we're going to
12:24
turn off the heat we're going to take
12:27
this off the burner and we're going to
12:28
allow this to cool completely and it'll
12:31
get nice and thick and we'll be able to
12:33
frost our cake with
12:35
it that's some thick icing here what I
12:39
did was I put the whole pot into the
12:41
refrigerator just laid it on a towel in
12:43
there and I waited until the pot cooled
12:46
down completely and the look at that
12:49
icing
12:50
frosting it's nice and thick that
12:53
caramel has just kind of seized
12:55
everything together which is what we
12:57
wanted okay okay let's ice a
13:06
cake look at that look at that
13:11
oh you can make this about 30 minutes
13:15
before you're ready to ice the cake cool
13:18
it down completely and you'll be ready
13:20
to go we're going to get an offset
13:23
spatula that will really help and then
13:26
just spread it out nice and
13:34
carefully what's nice is that icing is
13:37
very thick it's going to sit on the cake
13:39
very well it's not going to pour down
13:41
I'm going to cut a piece and we're going
13:43
to go in and give this a
13:50
try look at that
14:00
what do y'all
14:01
