Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of German chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the German chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well blended.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cooling for at least 20 minutes.

- Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cake to fill the holes.
- For the frosting, combine evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in coconut and pecans.
