German Chocolate Pound Cake

February 21, 2012 · by



Welcome to the first recipe in ‘Out of the Box’ week!  This week, I plan to bring you easy, time-saving, yummy recipes that start off with a cake mix.

For the first recipe in this series, I have to give a shout-out to the elderly lady in the grocery store several weeks ago.  She told me how she makes her German chocolate pound cake by mixing cake mix & store bought coconut pecan icing together.  She swore by how good it was, and when I decided on doing this week of boxed mix recipes – her words instantly came to mind.

Now, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous about the outcome of this.  The thought of combining prepared icing into my pound cake seemed a bit odd, but also intriguing.  




The result was the most moist pound cake I have ever made. And, it came from a mix!  You seriously could never guess.  This recipe is ingenious!  This cake disappeared so fast – nobody in my family could stay away from it, myself included.  

You really must give this a try – you won’t be disappointed.





All you need is german chocolate cake mix, coconut pecan icing, eggs, water, & oil.




Combine everything but the icing with an electric mixer or whisk.




Gently stir in the coconut pecan icing.




Spray a bundt pan with Bakers Joy – or lightly grease & flour.

Notice my bundt pan?  It was my Grandma Millie’s.  She passed away a couple years ago, and I love that I have this.  I think of her everytime that I use it :)


Pour in your cake batter.  Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for an hour.



When done, let the cake cool inside of the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then remove from the pan, and cool for at least another 10 minutes before slicing.
