Delish recipes combining all of Derek's fave things for his birthday!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease cupcake tin and 8-inch round pan, or 9x13 baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, eggs, water, and melted chocolate until smooth.
Pour into the baking pan(s) and bake for the time indicated on the box. Once finished, remove from oven and allow to cool.
Combine butter, both cans of condensed milk, and salt over a double boiler and begin to whisk while the icing is getting warm. Continue to stir for 5 minutes.
Add the egg yolks one at a time being sure that the eggs do not scramble. Cook over double boiler for 15-20 minutes until thickened, stirring frequently.
Once thickened, stir in the coconut and pecans.
Remove icing from heat, then add the whiskey. Allow the icing to set for at least 20 minutes.
Poke a hole in each cooled cupcake (or 12 holes in the 9x13 cake) and pour the icing over the cake(s). Garnish with a boozy cherry if desired!
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
