Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.<\/p>\n<p>2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.<\/p>\n<p>3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and melted chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>4. Gradually add flour mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed until well blended after each addition.<\/p>\n<p>5. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold beaten egg whites into batter. Stir in boiling water until well combined.<\/p>\n<p>6. Divide batter evenly among prepared cake pans. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool in pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer cakes to wire racks to cool completely.<\/p>\n<p>7. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the Coconut-Pecan Frosting. In a medium saucepan, combine evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, coconut, and pecans. Allow frosting to cool to room temperature before spreading on cooled cakes.<\/p>\n<p>8. Once the cakes are completely cooled and the frosting is ready, assemble the cake by spreading frosting between layers and on top of the cake. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>German Chocolate Cake Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1\/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 1\/2 cups granulated sugar 4 large eggs, separated 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup buttermilk 4 ounces German sweet chocolate, melted and cooled 1 cup boiling water For the Coconut-Pecan Frosting: 1 cup evaporated &#8230; <a title=\"German Chocolate Cake\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/?p=28738\" aria-label=\"Read more about German Chocolate Cake\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":28739,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[129],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipes"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28738","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28738"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28738\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28740,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28738\/revisions\/28740"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/28739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
