Sure thing! 🙂

Thank you !!! ❤️ I appreciate the reply back

Hi Laura! This recipe would likely make enough batter to fill 3 6 inch pans with may be a touch extra. 🙂

Hi Cindy! You will just mix the granules in. They will dissolve when the hot water is added in. 🙂

When you say instant coffee. Is it just the granules or prepared instant coffee?

Hi Maria! The coconut filling will be good in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. 🙂

Anyhow, this is my first attempt at making a German Chocolate Cake and WOW, my family and I were all impressed. This will definitely be my go to. I must admit it wasn’t as eye catching as yours, but the taste was spot on. Thank you for sharing this delectable cake recipe. It is much appreciated.

The coconut helps hold it together. The caramel isn’t really meant to be a stand alone. Cooking it a little longer may help, but you want to be careful to not burn it.

Hi Emily! I love, love, love your cakes! Thanks for sharing your easy-to-follow recipes and techniques for all of the novice bakers out there. My family is not big on coconut so I decreased the amount by half. However, the caramel filling turned out a bit runny even after increasing the cook time and refrigerating on my second attempt. Is it necessary to use the exact amount of coconut for this to work? Any other suggestions or tweaks to thicken this? It tastes absolutely divine and is just too good to not get right 🙂

From one sweet tooth to another,

Hi Stephanie! You would want to increase all of the recipe by 50% to make sure you have enough. 🙂

Hi Sam- I love all your recipes and so appreciate having this resource, thank you! I would like to turn this recipe into a 8 inch triple layer cake. How would you suggest I go about increasing the recipe? Would there be enough batter to do 3
8 inch layers? Thank you so much for your help.

We’re not sure how that would go 🙁

how can I make/change this using German chocolate

Hi Quiana! A double batch would probably be too much–1.5 would be closer. You could always do a double batch and make cupcakes with the excess though 🙂

Hi Shelly! If your filling is too thin you may have just needed to cook it for a little bit longer on the stove top. Is your cake dry and crumbly or are you just getting crumbs off the outside of the cake when frosting? If you are having just crumbs from the outside of the cake you can do a crumb coat. I show how to do this in my post on how to decorate a cake. I hope this helps! 🙂

Hi Molly! Unfortunately I don’t have much experience with high elevation so I can’t provide good information on any alterations. Hopefully someone else can chime in with some information. 🙂

I’m so sorry to hear this happened! Is your baking soda fresh? A bad leavener can cause issues. Did you make any substitutions?
