- My husband Jeffrey loved German Chocolate Cake for his birthdays when he was young and I love recreating healthy plant-based versions of classic cakes. So today we have this scrumptious two layer, whole food, plant-based Vegan German Chocolate Cake that will knock your socks off! The dark chocolate cake layers are topped with a creamy, coconut and pecan frosting that is pure heaven and the entire cake is refined sugar-free, oil-free, eggless, and gluten-free.

When this popped up on my TV, I knew it was going to be on the menu for Christmas Eve! I made it and it came out beautifully! The cake is so chocolaty and the frosting has just enough sweetness and the roasted pecans just add that nice, warm crunch! Thank you, Jill!❤️
I've seen recipes for German chocolate cake on several American channels and never could make sense of it because there's no cake like this in Germany. Fun fact: I just googled it and found out that the cake is named after an English-American chocolate maker named Samuel German 😁
Omg i was so confused as well. There are a lot of typical german cakes but that's not one of them xD
Fun fact: I just nade this exact comment, before I read yours. So I deleted mine...
I was wondering as well because one of the most famous German cake is the Black Forest cake with cherries. 😉🍒
Omg same here. I thougt: Where are the cherrys? The only famous chocolate cakes in Germany are „Schwarzwälder Kirsch Torte“ or „Donauwelle“ and both have cherrys in them 😂 Thank you for googling and tell us about Mr. German 😊
I just wanted to comment that I am from Germany and have never seen or ate this kind of chocolate cake 🧐 Thanks for the information about the origin of this cake name👍
Adding a tablespoon of instant coffee also intensifies the chocolate flavor too! :)
I made this cake for a friend's birthday, I didn’t use the pecans because my friend has peanut allergy .. we all love it! I made it a second time with pecans for my husband's birthday as he request it🎉 Today I made it 3rd time for a german friend, I added a bit of rum on the frost. My friend said: this cake is better than the german cake you have to give me the recipe! I did print it for her 😊 her Italian husband also liked it so much! Thanks so much Jill for your amazing healthy recipes!❤
You’re amazing. I found that making red quinoa into a batter with one to one water in the nutribullet and add cacao powder and dates make an amazing cake or brownie consistency! Also the red version of quinoa doesn’t carry that undesirable quinoa flavor in a desert
Great tip 👍
Are you just adding the quinoa in or are you replacing another ingredient?
Fun fact: German chocolate cake is not a type of cake from Germany. German was simply the last name of the cook who first famously published the recipe!
I made this cake for my son who is overweight and a diabetic, I had to add keto sugar frosting because there wasn't enough but that cake tasted great. Don't expect a cake, it's more like a brownie. I don't think he liked the texture but I had to make him something with high fiber so his sugar would not increase. Ty
Oh how I’ve missed German Chocolate Cake! From the first sniff before cutting it I knew I’d love it! The first bite didn’t disappoint! Only problem I’m having is not eating more lol! So delicious!
I made this tonight and it was so good! I had all the ingredients (except for the pecans). Thank you so much for developing nut free recipes. The oats were perfect. I will make this again for Christmas and add some fresh raspberries along the edge for a pop of red color. 💫
I just made this cake. Wow!!!
DELICIOUS!!!!!!
I love your cakes!! I made the turtle cake and ate the whole thing myself and still lost weight! The power of plants!! I know this will be top notch and just may have to eat all of it too!! 🍽
This icing tasted just like the regular German chocolate cake icing. Delicious!
Love the recipe! Also love the piano music in the background. Sounds a bit like Bill Evans playing.
O my! Healthy enough to have for breakfast with a lovely cup of tea!😂
Hello, love your recipes. This cake looks yummily Thank you and God Bless, Sonja and Christopher

Yum!! Excellent recipe! Hand to make a cake over the break with my 9 yr old son for school project... came out great and he was an excellent sous chef! Thank you. GmaJo 🙏🏻❤️
I just made your Mac and cheese using chews. It is awesome 👍 I bought your cookbook and can't wait to try more. Thank you

Jill, this cake is fantastic. Requested for another birthday party. 🎂
Happy birthday!

Hi Jill! I've recently subscribed to your channel and I am loving your recipes because of how delicious and healthy they are. I am going to order both of your cookbooks!
I have a request - if you could make a cake and/or brownies with carob instead of chocolate in case someone has a sensitivity, is allergic or wants to avoid caffeine. It would be greatly appreciated! God bless you and your channel 🙏🏻❤
Oh, Jill! This looks amazing! I was going to make the chocolate pudding pie (which I've already made and enjoyed) for Christmas along with your Christmas cake but now I'm going to make this cake!!! And the sweet potato pie! I hope my non plant-based family members will have some or I will eat all of it😀And I'm making the fruit and seed crackers too now that I have the psyllium husk, and the cheese too. I'm learning so much from you!! A gazillion thank yous!
Wow! You are ambitious 👏👏👏❤️
Have a delicious holiday 😊
@@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow Thank you, Jill! Thanks to you it will be😊 A very Merry Christmas to you and yours❤️
Hi Jill! Thank you for recreating one of MY favorite classic cakes! I have an oat intolerance...and pecan one as well. Besides almonds, do you have another suggestion for replacement? Thank you!!
I always add some amount of salt and coffe to all my chocolate cake recipes
Yum! 😋 How about a biscuit recipe? 🙏
I haven't had German Chocolate cake since my great-grandma transitioned in 1994. I've been looking for a vegan recipe. This looks so easy to make and delicious. I began salivating when you tasted the cake. Haha! Thanks so much! Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and peaceful 2023! Many blessings!
Thank you Tyffany 😊
@@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow You're most welcome, Jill!
this looks REALLY GREAT! Question to Jill and the community, what would you suggest could be used instead of the shredded coconut, to get that same consistency for the frosting?
Your recipes are really great. Some are tested already. And it was great!
Because of alle these dates, I wonder if I could take the dates-paste you can buy in an arabique food shop. They are using them for cookies ( ma'amoul ).
Thank you for the great videos and your joy you're sharing with us! ☀️
You can
If you put the pan on a kitchen scale you can get the dough exactly divided. 😊
Looks soon yummy! Does this cake and frosting freeze well?
Yes
What a great and easy recipe to make. Do you have to keep it refrigerated or can you leave it out?
Refrigerate 👍
Looks yummy!
I would love to make it, however my son doesnt like coconut. I wonder if it can be substituted with something else.
Looks yummy🥰🥰🥰. Pls link for ur blender

This cake looks amazing!!! I would love to know if its possible to use almond flour instead of oats? Thank you!!! ❤
I love your blender, may I ask where you got it from?
It is a Blendtec Professional 800
OMG
Love this channel & the great recipes! Do you use a certain type of date & do you order in bulk since you use them so often? Would you mind sharing where you purchase them? Thank you! Can't wait to try this recipe that both my hubby & daughter can have & will love I'm sure! ☺
I buy deglet dates from Whole Foods or my local Harris Teeter. I don’t really have a bulk supplier to suggest, sorry
@@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow Thank you!
I get medjool dates from Sam's club
Hey my dear Jill happy new year to you and family!
What a pleasure to discover a new Cake from you..the base remind me the famous well know Chocolate Turtle Cake and Oreo Cake (I already made 😉) but some little differences..
Creamy layer/topping looks so Tasty as I love Dates/ Shredded Coconut and Pecan haha!
A thing I wanted to ask you since long time is your oven baking mode please?
(With heat blower/ventilator or only low and high heat resisistances?)
Many thanks in advance..
I prepare you a short PM😉
Your french loyal follower..
Henri 🙂
My oven has top and bottom heaters without the convection/blower
@@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow Hey my dear Jill so happy to read you since a long time 😊..never forget you and still watching you noce and calm while cooking..Relax and tasty feelings..
For your oven, it may be the static fonction you use obviously..if you dont have "ventilator" blowing in the back of your oven cavity.
(Maybe the best function for Cakes to raise slowly..)
Because I see you often put 2 pans at once when you bake..and even 3 for Hummingbird Cake if I remember well..and in general it is hard to cook many pans together without "blower" activated..you keep same time baking for 2 pans at once? And for me with one pan at once?
And you seems to success like this!
Thanks so much again 🙂
I need to make this but DOES JUST OATS FOR THE FLOUR TASTE THAT GOOD. I LOVE HEALTHY CAKE SO IM OK WITH OATS BUT JUST OATS. IT LOOKS AMAZING BUT JUST OATS BUT OK U LOOKED LIKE IT TASTE AMAZING.
Can you use raw cacao powder or should it be alkaline processed cocoa? Can't wait to try this!
The raw powder may just have a milder chocolate taste.
Hi, I have already ground oat flour I will measure 3 cups? Happy holiday and thank you
Yes
Plz send my house dis cake 😋😋😋
My batter was super thick as soon as I started mixing it. More like brownie batter. I used all the correct portions of ingredients. Any suggestions?
It will probably be fine but you can always add a little more water
Can't wait to make this but ...I wld like to find out if it is possible to purchase yr 2nd cookbook . I have the 1st one .
It is in the final editing stage and then goes to print but that still means a few more months. We will make an announcement when it is available to purchase 👍
Can't wait to get the new cookbook ! Thank you !!
I made this and it was good except my cake texture was a bit gluey. It was definitely baked through so wondering if you had any thoughts. We tried it when it was still a bit warm. Maybe this was the problem?
Hmm, not sure why that is. Mine didn’t do that. Maybe over stirring.
So that is cocoa powder, as stated, not cacao? I like to put cacao in chocolatey things for the nutritional value. thanks
Am I able to replace the flax meal with ground chia seeds?
Looks delicious, it only needs berries on top! 😋
What size baking pans?
Where did you get them?
9 inch
It's quick, so you should slow down the video.
0:45
3:07
I really thought of the Batman music. 😃 😊 😜
What is the difference between baking soda and baking powder I have only baking soda
Hi! What's the brand of your nutribullets, if i may ask? I need a super strong one, that would last at least 2-3 yrs.😂
How do you roast pecans in the oven? I'm making this cake for a friend's B-day and I'm afraid I'll screw up the roasting part.
You can either toast them on a parchment lined baking tray on 350° for 5-8 minutes or toast in a pan in the stovetop on medium high heat for 5 minutes
im not complaining but I wonder if you have recipes using almond and coconut instead of oats. i love your recipe s but wondering if you can substitute oats for almond and coconut flour
I think it would still work but the cake will be very dense. It really depends on each individual recipe.
@@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow thanks for your reply!
Do you think using hot coffee instead of hot water would be good?
Hmmm, that is an interesting idea. I think it might work
I substitute roasted carob powder for the chocolate….then it might be a medicinal cake!😂
Can I use chia seeds instead of flax?
Yes
I can’t use oats, could I use gluten free flour as a substitute?
I haven’t tried it so I’m not completely sure, sorry
If I don't have dates, can I use coconut sugar?
I am in a place where you can buy/find dates easily.
