German Chocolate Cake(Easy)

Bake the chocolate cake in a rectangular pan and cool it until just barely warm.

Cook milk, yolks, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt until the frosting thickens.

Stir in coconut and pecans and let the topping cool for a few minutes.

Spread the frosting over the sheet cake in an even, textured layer.

Cut into squares once the topping has set enough to hold clean edges.
