We had this wonderful German Chocolate Cheesecake Cake for Mothers Day. All I can say about this cake is it is incredibly heavenly!!!! I got this recipe from Priscilla’s Baking Adventures, the first time I saw the picture of this cake my jaw dropped on my keyboard.I just knew I had to make it OMY GOODNESS! I am such a huge fan of German Chocolate Cake especially homemade, so I knew this was going to be good.
This cake does take some time to bake and chill so plan accordingly. It would be best to prepare this cake the morning of the day you want to serve it. This way it has the appropriate time to chill. The homemade frosting on this cake is just to die for.
I could eat that stuff right out of the pot. I really did not think German Chocolate Cake could get any better, but I was so wrong. Thank you so much Priscilla for the wonderful recipe. I will be making this again and again.
* Warning this cake is not diet friendly at all, just look at all those ingredients....... It is so deadly but so worth it *
Prepare cake batter according to package directions; set aside
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined.
Pour half of the cake batter into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.

Just like this
Gently spoon remaining batter over top; spread to edge of pan

Now for the frosting. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, milk, butter and egg yolks Cook and stir over medium-low heat until thickened and a thermometer reads 160° or is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon.

I made this cake and couldnt believe that it looked exactly like your pictures. This was so simple to make. I have had several requests to make again. I was a little concerned when I was making the icing because it didn't seem thick to me. But I let it rest and it came out perfect. I love your site. :)
I am so glad you liked the cake. Just let the frosting sit in the pot until it is the consistency to spread on the cake. That frosting is so deadly, I love it. This cake is always a huge hit.
I am an activity director at a nursing home and we are always looking for new recipes to make at our cooking class. I found your sight yesterday and we made your German chocolate cheesecake today...everyone loved it!! Thank you so much for the GREAT recipe!!!
