German Chocolate Cake Brownies combine rich, dark chocolate brownies with a sweet and thick coconut pecan frosting for a nostalgic dessert with a twist.
Mix brownie ingredients together with an electric mixer. Bake brownies in an 8x8-inch pan. Set aside to cool completely.
In a medium saucepan stir together brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter and evaporated milk. Whisk in egg yolks.
Bring the mixture to a low boil over medium heat stirring constantly until mixture begins to thicken; 3-4 minutes.
Turn off the heat. Stir in the vanilla, pecans and shredded coconut. Allow the mixture to cool completely before layering it on the brownies. Garnish with pecans if desired.
