German Chocolate Cupcake

Chocolate Cake

I personally like the recipe from the Hershey's Cocoa Powder box.  Or check out: http://www.hersheys.com/pure-recipes/details.aspx?id=184&name=HERSHEY'S

This is a pretty dense cake.  A favorite with my family, but certainly a heavy, rich cake.

Chocolate Frosting

Chocolate Butter Cream.

For this cupcake I use the recipe from the Hershey Cocoa Powder box.  It's really creamy and rich, perfect for this decadent cupcake.

Coconut Topping

1/4 cup (4 tbs) of butter or margarine
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup pecans
1/2 cup flaked coconut

In a small sauce pan stir brown sugar and margarine over low heat until melted.  Add coconut and pecans and stir until thoroughly mixed.

Decorating

Using a Wilton #1M decorating tip, start at the edge of the cupcakes and make a ring, leaving space for the Coconut Topping.  Spoon coconut topping on cupcake
