Classic German Chocolate Cake Filling
Makes: scant 3 cups/27 ounces/670 grams
INGREDIENTS MEASUREMENTS WEIGHT
room temperature volume ounces grams
pecan pieces (medium-coarse) 1 cup 4 ounces 112 grams
sweetened condensed milk, 1 can 1 liquid cup plus 3 tablespoons 14 ounces 396 grams
3 to 4 large egg yolks 3 1/2 tablespoons 2 ounces 56 grams
butter, unsalted, cut into pieces and softened 8 tablespoons 4 ounces 112 grams
pure vanilla extract 1 teaspoon . .
Baker’s Angel Flake coconut or Mounds 1 3/4 cups 4.5 ounces 130 grams

Toast the Pecans
Spread the pecans evenly on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.

In a medium, heavy saucepan, whisk together the condensed milk, and egg yolks. Add the butter and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula, reaching well to the edges and bottom. As soon as it starts to simmer, lower the heat or remove the pan from the heat occasionally to keep it from cooking too fast or burning. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until thickened enough to pool slightly on the surface before disappearing. (about 175ºF.) It still will be pourable.

Stir in the vanilla, coconut, and pecans, and continue cooking on medium heat for one minute. Scrape the mixture into a large bowl (it will become tan and slightly translucent). Cover it with a towel, and allow it to cool to room temperature or just barely warm, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. (It will take about 3 hours at room temperature but will reach spreading consistency faster if refrigerated or stirred over ice water for 5 minutes.) The filling thickens as it cools and if refrigerated for more than 2 hours will need to be softened over hot water or for a few seconds in the microwave.

Thanks, Rozanne! I’m going to make the Black Chocolate Party Cake. Mmmmm….

Thanks for putting them all in one place Rozanne. Anne, I’m making the Black Chocolate Party Cake too. It looks so sinful and rich!

Thanks so much, Rozanne, it’s great to have everything in one place, as well as a reminder!

Excellent idea Rozanne. Thanks!

You are all welcome!

You’re welcome! Annie, there’s also the Angel Food cake.

I don’t think I will be joining in this time as we are off on holiday on the 21st. to Cyprus.  Pity because its is my OH’s birthday on the 22nd!  On the other hand I could make a cake during the week before and post it the day before we go away, I’ll see how busy I am   that week.

Please try, Jeannette.  The date doesn’t matter.

I have friends coming over from Texas in July and they will bring some cake flour.  To be held under lock and key until the new book comes out!!!  Are you heading up this way soon?

Hopefully you’ll be able to join in. Have a great vacation! 

Our intention is to come up to Scotland in the autumn/fall.  T is away on his golfing break this week , then as I said we will be away at the end of June so we will have a few weeks here and then motor up probably at the end of August.  It would be lovely to get as far as your neck of the woods and meet up, as good as meeting up with Rose!  I’m sure you could give me lots of baking tips.
