This German chocolate cake roll is made with cocoa, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, coconut, nuts, butter, vanilla and other ingredients.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/3 cup water

Preparation:

Line 15x10 inch jellyroll pan with aluminum foil, extending foil about 1 inch over ends of pan. Grease the foil.

In medium bowl, combine milk, 2 egg yolks, coconut, nuts, butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; mix well. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. In large mixer bowl, beat 3 eggs at high speed until fluffy. Gradually beat in sugar then beat 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and beat 1 minute. Pour evenly over coconut mixture in pan. Bake 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and immediately turn onto towel. Peel off foil; beginning at narrow end, roll up cake, jelly-roll fashion. Place on serving plate seam side down. Cool. Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar and drizzle with chocolate glaze.

Chocolate Glaze: In small saucepan, over low heat, melt 2 ounces semisweet chocolate with 2 tablespoons butter; stir until smooth. Remove from heat; stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Immediately drizzle the chocolate glaze over German chocolate cake roll.

Great Yule Log cakeDecember 10, 2008By starB99
"For Yule log, cut about 3 inches off end on an angle and put cut side to roll on foil covered serving platter (this step make a ""knot"" on the log--it will make more sense when you do it!). Frost with chocolate frosting or ganache (not cut end); drag a fork through frosting to resemble bark. Sift powdered sugar ""snow"" around and lightly over cake. I also make the classic meringue mushrooms (always a hit when eaten) and make cookie candles for Advent to decorate. Some sprigs of rosemary laid around (not stuck into without wrapping stems first) and you have a Christmas Cake dessert centerpiece. Everyone loves this cake! Star B."
