Semi Homemade German Chocolate Cake was a hit!

My brother turned 50 last week and asked for a German Chocolate Cake.  He was very pleased with the cake.  It turned out to be very moist and delicious. Here is my recipe:

1 box of Pillsbury german chocolate cake mix
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup sour cream
2 ounces of melted sweet german chocolate (1/2 box)

Mix well - makes 3 - 8 inch layers. Bake at 325 degrees for 40 minutes. Chill the layers before icing them. You will need two icing for the cake - use Dunkin Hines coconut pecan icing between the layers and on the top and make the following recipe for the outside of the cake.


Recipe for icing outside of cake:
2 pounds powdered sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup shortening
1/2 cup buttermilk
4 ounces of melted sweet german chocolate (1 box)
Use to ice outside of cake.  If you try this recipe,let me know what you think!!
