National German Chocolate Cake Day

German Chocolate Cake ... named for one Sam German's baking chocolate and NOT the country Germany is one of those intoxicatingly decadent confections which has been my most favorite since I first tasted a piece in my early childhood.
 

• The chocolate.
• The caramel.
• The coconut.
• The pecans.

It's an old fashioned treat in the absolute best grandma tradition.

So if you are ever fortunate enough to have one baked up for you ... you're mighty lucky so ENJOY.

Happy National German Chocolate Cake Day !
