Hey there! That German chocolate cake topping is truly heavenly! The key ingredients you'll need are evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter, vanilla extract, sweetened shredded coconut, and chopped pecans. To make it, start by combining the evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, and butter in a saucepan. Cook this mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens, which should take about 10-12 minutes. Once it's thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla, coconut, and pecans. Let it cool a bit before spreading it over your cake. And voila! You’ve got that amazing, rich topping. Enjoy!
