National German Chocolate Cake Day 2022

    German Chocolate Cake

I've been here before — many times ... one of my childhood favorites has been German Chocolate Cake.

It was a frequently requested birthday cake for as long as I can remember.

German chocolate cake aka German's chocolate cake is one of those special confections comprised of layered chocolate cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting.

A concoction originating in the United States; it is named for the English-American chocolate maker named Samuel German who developed a formulation for a dark baking chocolate that came to be used in the cake recipe. It is not an item of German extraction. I cannot remember the last time I had a piece but I would gladly revisit the taste whenever the opportunity should arise.
