German Chocolate Cake

Directions

Directions for Topping

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brick, cream, yolk, and sweetener. It should take 5 to 10 minutes of cooking for the mixture to thicken. Make sure to stir often, ensuring to not let it overthicken (aka burn).

2. Remove from heat and stir in the coconut flakes, almonds, and vanilla. As it will continue to thicken as it cools, set aside for 5-10 minutes.

Directions for Cake:

1. In a bowl, heat your brick until almost fully melted; add the butter and finish melting. Remove from the microwave, add in remaining ingredients (add eggs last to avoid any premature cooking within the bowl) and whisk to combine.

2. Since this batter is more than the typical mug cake, it’ll need to cook in the microwave for ~3 minutes or until it’s just under being set at the top. Check in after 2 minutes.

3. Spread on the topping once the cake has cooled to avoid it melting.
