German Chocolate Bundt Cake
This German Chocolate Bundt Cake has a tunnel of coconut-pecan filling baked right into the center, topped with a sweet vanilla drizzle. It's my go-to birthday cake for my mom - and just as good any night of the week.

In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and butter using an electric mixer at medium speed. Blend for 5 minutes, until well blended and creamy,
Add the vanilla and egg whites, 1 at a time, to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.
In a large bowl, using a hand whisk, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
With the electric mixer at low speed, add flour mixture to the sugar mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the cake batter.
Spoon half of batter into the prepared bundt pan and top with coconut-pecan filling.
Spoon the remaining batter over streusel and smooth the top of the cake batter with the back of a spoon, being sure to cover the streusel mixture.
