Reason and pound # 138, why I'm chunky

Ingredients and Preparation

For this indulgent cake, you will need two parts: the cake itself and the luxurious German chocolate pecan glaze. Below is a breakdown of what you’ll need for each:

For the Cake:

  • Unsalted Butter: 1 cup of softened butter adds richness and moisture to the cake.

  • White Sugar: 2 cups of sugar provide the perfect amount of sweetness.

  • Eggs: 4 large eggs add structure and richness to the batter.

  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon enhances the overall flavor profile of the cake.

  • All-Purpose Flour: 2 cups of flour create the base for the pound cake.

  • Baking Powder: ½ teaspoon helps the cake rise, creating a light yet dense texture.

  • Salt: ¼ teaspoon balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.

  • Sour Cream: 1 cup of sour cream adds moisture and a subtle tang, making the cake tender.

  • German Chocolate: 1 cup of chopped German chocolate infuses the cake with its signature rich, sweet flavor.

  • Pecans: 1 cup of chopped and toasted pecans adds crunch and a nutty flavor.


OR Buy a Boxed cake and add Pecans and German Chocolate, with sour cream to the mix.



For the German Chocolate Pecan Glaze:

  1. Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan, gently heat ½ cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil, as this could cause the cream to separate.

  2. Melt the Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from the heat and add 1 cup of chopped German chocolate. Allow it to sit in the hot cream for a few minutes, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

  3. Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the German chocolate glaze over the top, letting it cascade down the sides. Sprinkle ½ cup of toasted pecans over the glaze for added crunch and flavor.

  4. Serve: Cut the cake into slices and serve with a smile! The combination of rich chocolate, buttery cake, and crunchy pecans will leave everyone coming back for seconds.
