B.B. KING LOVES ...
GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE.
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate
1 1/4 cups butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
Melt chocolate and 1/4 cup of the butter in nice pan. Let it cool.
Cream together remaining butter and sugar in medium bowl. Beat in egg yolks. Stir in vanilla extract and chocolate mixture. Sift together dry ingredients. Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk to chocolate mixture.
Beat egg whites until stiff in large bowl. Fold in chocolate mixture. Pour cake batter evenly into the three prepared pans. Bake 30 minutes or until cake springs back. Let cool on racks.
Frosting:
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 egg yolks, slightly beaten
3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups coconut
2 cups chopped pecans
Combine evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks and butter in a saucepan. Add vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until thickened (thick enough to coat back of spoon). Remove from heat. Stir in coconut and pecans. Cool until thick enough to spread over cake.
Place 1 cake layer on plate. Spread frosting evenly over top. Repeat with remaining layers. Spread remaining frosting evenly over sides of cake. Serve.

| B.B. King, who's real name is Riley B. King, got the nickname "BB" (usually written with no spaces in between) from his fans in Memphis who called him the Beale Street Blues Boy. Quite the ladies man, he was known to have 341 one-night stands in the year 1956. Pfew! That would make anyone hungry! Even though he is a well known spokesperson for diabetes, the gossip is that one of his favorite desserts is a sweet German Chocolate Cake which we have here for you! We can only imagine him singing the blues when the last slice of this mouth watering cake was 'done and gone.' We can't guarentee that this recipe will keep your loved ones from going out and having a one-night-stand, but we know it will make them love you for at least one mouthful! |

These nesting bowls are made of recycled plastic AND they're reasonably priced. Aren't they wonderfully colorful? I find that with jolly colored kitchen bowls it makes me enjoy the yucky clean up chores! Somehow, it makes me feel super creative! |

Look how colorful these SPOONULAS are from Rachel Ray! Leave it to her cleverosity to create something that does double duty! Is it a SPATULA? Is it a SPOON? Well, no, actually it's a SPOONULA. And if you say it a few times it gets funny! |

| Using brightly colored utensils and bowls might make you feel like a little kid again when you could PLAY in the kitchen with your Mom's magical cooking things or your Dad's favorite red bowl. But now, you get to say "iGET2cook and I get to choose how much joy I have in the kitchen!" Whoo hoo! Fun, environmentally concsious and pretty colors! |

So here's the idea. You'll need 3 cake pans. |
|
|
|
|
The Norpro you see here on your left has a glass bottom, which is awesome because you can serve and slice the cake right from the glassbottom. What a clever idea they had. But you will need three of these to make this cake, since it is a double yummy 3 layer version! |

The Bakers Secret to your left are super fun, cuz you can make a 3 tiered wedding-cake kind of thing by using this one set for the cake! It's silly fun and makes people smile! Which is always good when you're giving people CAKE! |
|
|
|
|
|
Oh. & the Bakers Secret is a bargain cuz you get 3 pans for the price of 1! Now I bet you're smiling! :) |

This is the biggest ticket item you'll ever consider for your kitchen. But I was lucky and got a set from my Mom. I have had all kinds of other pots and pans... some of which are great, but the beauty of Revere Ware (if you can afford 'em) is that they last FOREVER! |

The copper bottom is the secret because it makes everything cook evenly. They are the Rolls Royce of Pots and Pans. |
