My husband does not like the gooey icing of German Chocolate cake, so I found this pretty slick alternative! It has all the flavors, but a very distinct crunch , it almost caramelizes on top of the cake. Try it, I think you will be pleasantly surprised! I do not use the nuts as my husband does not like nuts in his cakes, only cookies! This is perfect for a 13x9 cake, I often use a Swiss Chocolate cake mix.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup flaked coconut (sweetened is fine)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
3 tablespoons milk
1 drop pure vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients well.
2. Spread mixture over a slightly warm cake.
3. Set your oven to broil.
4. Place cake approximately 5 inches from the heat source and broil until topping bubbles and browns slightly.
5. WATCH CAREFULLY AS THIS CAN BURN VERY EASILY!
