Hey guys, it’s Kendyl here with The East Texas Weekend.

My dad’s birthday is the day after Christmas, and every year he would request his favorite cake: German Chocolate. Typical German Chocolate cake is made with nuts, and since me and my brother are allergic to nuts we could never have a piece of my dad’s cake (great for him, sad for us!)

So almost 20 years ago my family started making a German Chocolate Pound Cake…without nuts! We love it! We make this cake multiple times a year, and always bake a couple dozen during the holidays and wrap them up as gifts for friends, family and neighbors. They’re always a huge hit!

So, I decided to share the cake recipe with all of you, and in the YEARS I’ve been making this it’s NEVER gone wrong…until I filmed it. (watch the Facebook post below to see what I mean)

So, despite my utter baking fail, here’s how you can make your own German Chocolate Pound Cake:

What you need:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 small box of vanilla pudding
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 bar of German Chocolate (we use Bakers)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • Bundt pan
  • Cooking Spray (PREFERABLY WITH FLOUR)
  • Powdered sugar (optional)
  • Vanilla Ice Cream (optional)

What to do:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°
  • Grate German Chocolate Bar
  • In a large bowl combine cake mix, pudding, oil, water and beaten eggs and mix until there are no clumps
  • Gently mix in German Chocolate and Chocolate Chips
  • Pour into a GREASED AND FLOURED PAN
  • Bake for 50 minutes
  • Cool for 10 minutes before flipping
  • Sprinkle top with powdered sugar and serve with some vanilla ice cream (optional, but definitely recommended)

    • Also, feel free to make me feel better. Do you have any baking fails? I’d love to hear about them!
