Step One: Making the Cake

Step Two: Whipping up the Cream Cheese Caramel Frosting
To make the frosting for the German cake you will need a cup of melted caramel or apple dipping caramel, 8-ounces of cream cheese, 2-cups of powder sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a few tablespoons of whipping cream. Place these ingredients into a mixing bowl and beat them together for 2-minutes. If you find the frosting is too thin add in a tiny bit more powder sugar until you get the texture you desire. If you find the frosting is too thick add in more cream. The frosting should be thick, creamy and easy to spread with a rich creamy caramel color and flavor. Once it is ready, spread it all over the top of the cake. After, sprinkle on a cup of crushed toasted walnuts and toasted shredded coconut. Then, serve the yummy cake up for a delightful treat that I slightly healthier for you.
