In laws loved it! The icing was fabulous. But my favorite part was the moistness of the cake. The condensed milk was the difference. I will try this trick on other cakes.

The cake fell in the middle. Not happy with that at all, am making a layered cake so I baked a plain old chocolate cake to fill in the depression(which didn't fall). I didn't open the oven door once until the timer went off. Will add brown sugar to the frosting as other's have indicated.

Very easy to make! Everyone loved it and I received many requests for the recipe. The frosting is YUMMY! I sprinkled some extra pecans on top before serving for some extra crunch.

Yummy recipe, my uncle who is a German Choc. cake lover, said this is best version he has ever tried. I do agree with several reviews on here, that the recipe does not have much of a carmel flavor, but you can remedy that by adding 3 TBS of Brown Sugar. I also recommend you cook it for 10 mins not 6 so that it gets thick enough. P.S. Almonds are a great substitute for pecans, and much better for you!!!!

Absolutely delicious and easy. The addition of the sweetened condensed milk makes the cake rich and moist.

Loved the frosting. Made extra like some suggested. The cake was a little dry around the edges but that might have just been my cooking.

I didn't make the cake for this recipe. Instead, I just used the frosting recipe, because it looked easy and good. Unfortunately, half way through the process, I realized I'd used evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed! HAHA! But with a little poweder sugar, a little flour (for thickening) and a couple more minutes on the stove, it turned out just right! I think next time I'll have to make it the right way and see if it came out as good!

I doubled the frosting recipe due to other reviews and the fact that I made this as a 2 layer birthday cake. It was for my honey and he thought it was better than his favorite (until now) German Chocolate Cake purchased from a bakery at $4.95 a slice.

Very Good. I could have ate the frosting with a spoon it was so good. I used a milk chocolate cake mix cooked in a bunt pan for 35 min and it was moist and perfect I wish I had more frosting because it didnt cover the whole cake so next time I will double it. Vey easy with great results.

The frosting is really tasty, I think making the cake from scratch is the only thing that would of made it better, however using a box makes it quick & easy

This was easy to put together and my husband said it was yummy. I was a little disappointed in the frosting flavor. I wanted more of that "caramel" taste and this just tasted like sweetened condensed milk w/ pecans and coconut (a yummy flavor, but just not what I expect in a German Chocolate Cake). I made the mistake of inverting the cake before frosting it. The recipe does not make enough frosting to cover the sides of the cake. So, if you make this - just leave it in the pan and frost the top only! :) DEFINETELY cook it for much longer than 6 minutes to thicken up the frosting. I probably cooked it closer to 15 minutes (maybe even longer).

Excellent recipe! So easy and moist! The condensed milk keeps the cake from getting dry. I used chopped walnuts instead of pecans. I used at least 1 full cup of coconut, though, and at least 1 cup of walnuts. I like the frosting to be thick, not thin.
