      A customer has asked me for a German chocolate cake but with buttercream frosting instead of the coconut and pecan frosting. Never heard of such a thing but I’m using this recipe for the cake batter. Looks delicious!

    I've added melted chocolate to your easy buttercream & it works great 👍🏻Also you mentioned using browned butter & trust me it's so worth it! I brown my butter, & toast both my pecans & coconut. It's TO DIE FOR. I even went super EXTRA once and used toasted sugar in the custard 😂 Thanks for all of your great recipes & tips!

    I love German chocolate cake 🎂. I've seen where there is coconut frosting all over the cake. Can the coconut 🥥frosting recipe be tweaked to make enough for the sides too? Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜

  • @conor698
    @conor698 4 года назад

    Do you notice a difference in mixing quality between the plastic and stainless steel bowls? If I were to buy a Bosch would you suggest the stainless steel over the plastic? I notice you sometimes go back and forth between the two. Is it good to have both? Thanks! Your vids are fantastic and your recipes are a hit whenever I try them out.

    Hey, Sugar Geek, aka, Liz. In your Italian Buttercream frosting where you have 8 oz of egg whites but then in (114g)... Did you mean 8 oz or 4 oz? Just wondering... The frosting and the cake looks amazing. Thanks.

    I used to never like German chocolate cake (was never a coconut fan), but they say your tastes change as you get older. When my cousin and her boyfriend moved into a house together, I offered to make them a cake, and they wanted German Chocolate cupcakes. Tried it again, and OMG. Yeah. It's a good one. Never be afraid of trying anything again that you didn't like as a kid.

    • @SugarGeekShow
      @SugarGeekShow  3 года назад +1

      Oh no! Did you use fresh egg whites or pasteurized? I find fresh eggs easier to whip into meringue. And are you using a metal bowl or a plastic one to mix? Sometimes leftover grease or fat can hang on to a plastic bowl, and that can prohibit your meringue from whipping to stiff peaks. So I always clean my bowl and whisks with a little white vinegar before making SMBC.

    • @sacredtendrils7159
      @sacredtendrils7159 3 года назад

      @@SugarGeekShow I figured it out. I used the store bought egg whites. And I think that was the problem. I tried again with reg egg whites and it was perfect. Thank u for sharing ur recipes they come out perfect every time. Well except this time but that was totally my fault 😂
