  • German Chocolate Cake combines three layers of rich, delicate, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate cake with an unforgettable coconut pecan frosting. Each bite of this beautiful cake is more delicious than the last, making it a great dessert for almost any occasion! Three layers of chocolate cake are baked to perfection with a few simple steps, and the stove-top frosting is so easy to make that even beginners should feel confident baking this recipe. This is one of my ALL time favorite cakes, I hope you love it too.

    I always explain to people that German chocolate cake was not named after the country, but was named after a man named German, and Baker’s chocolate wasn’t named after the occupation, but was named after a man named Baker. I love stories about words as much as I love John’s teaching videos.

    I grew up 5 miles from Mrs. Clay's house on Academy Drive in Dallas. I never knew it until the story of the origin of this cake came out on the internet. I do know it was our family favorite and the men in the family requested it for their birthday every year. Another coincidence is that I was born in 1957, the year this recipe was published in the Dallas Morning News. The recipe became so popular, The Baker's company started printing it on the label of their product.

      If I remember right it's called german chocolate cake not because it's from Germany but rather because there use to be a 'german chocolate' brand of chocolate that was once popular in the US and the recipe was started by that brand
