Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
5 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
8 ounces German chocolate, melted
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the melted German chocolate, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut.
- Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
- Make sure to properly grease and flour the Bundt pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Use good-quality German chocolate for the richest flavor.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
