I am a chocolate fanatic. I literally have chocolate every single day. My husband seems to think it is a little crazy, but he sure had his fair share of this chocolaty treat!
German Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup toasted sweetened, flaked coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, divided
1 (18 ounce) pkg. devil’s food cake mix (just the mix, don’t follow box directions)
4 teaspoons canola oil
4 teaspoons canola oil
2/3 cup sour cream
2 egg
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Spread a layer of coconut on the lined cookie sheet and bake it at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes until golden brown, watching to be sure it doesn’t burn; set aside. In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup toasted coconut, pecans and 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk until blended; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, mix dry cake mix, canola oil, sour cream, egg and remaining sweetened condensed milk until blended. Pour batter into a greased 9×13 pan. Spread coconut mixture evenly over the batter. Sprinkle 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove cake from the oven and sprinkle on remaining coconut. Microwave remaining chocolate chips, uncovered on high for 45-60 seconds, or until almost melted. Stir until smooth and drizzle on top.

How yummy does this look!?! I’m pinning this for later:)
Do you have to microwave the choc chips with butter or fat in order to melt right? I’ve never been able to microwave them without butter or milk n not burn them or have them get hard n chunky…..
Hi Heather!
I didn’t have a problem melting them in the microwave. Just keep an eye on them making sure you don’t melt them too long. If you are worried about it, you could add a little butter, milk or oil!
Ohhh man these look so good!
I love this recipe. It’s actually the new recipe Pampered Chef demostrated at their fall conference. Oh so tasty!!!
This is awesome! I’m a chocolate fanatic as well & can’t wait to try this! My so-planned “diet” will just have to wait

I made this last night and it was so, so very delicious, especially warm out of the oven with vanilla ice cream! Thanks for sharing.
I’m in Australia (transplanted from California) and it’s been YEARS since I’ve had German Chocolate cake! Am trying this over the weekend – THANK YOU!
You girls have an awesome site, especially to any of us who miss flavours from home. x
