Ingredients
The ingredients for this easy-to-make German chocolate cake recipe include:
- 1 package (4 ounces) Baker’s German’s Sweet Chocolate
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 4 eggs, separated
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1-1/4 cups milk
Instructions
To make the cake, begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, cream the egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg yolks and sugar, and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the chocolate mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Stir in the vanilla.
Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, frost the cake with your favorite German chocolate frosting.
