Glossy German Chocolate Cake, Got from nikibone com for tour 2005 Spread coconut pecan frosting between layers and over the top of cake Coconut Pecan Frosting Recipe #140466 German Sweet Chocolate created by Samuel German (hence its name)is a dark baking chocolate Making it more convenient for bakers to have a chocolate where the sugar was already added to it It is sweeter than semi-sweet chocolate and contains a blend of chocolate liquor, sugar, cocoa butter, flavorings, and lecithin , This is the second year I’ve made this cake for my husband’s birthday and it is delicious! German chocolate cake is his favorite and it just doesn’t get better then this one The cake layers just turn out perfectly, and the recipe is easy to follow Thanks for sharing! It is one of our family favorites , I was looking for that 20 star rating!! Wowee, this turned out great! My Mom used to make this for birthdays when I was young at everyone’s request I always thought it was so difficult and it really isn’t at all I can’t believe I have waited so long to try it It didn’t really go with my current WW diet so I sent the leftovers home with my kids Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe which tastes exactly like my Mom’s!
