Delicious German Chocolate Cake

Certainly! German Chocolate Cake is a rich, indulgent cake that’s actually an American creation, despite its name. It owes its name to an American baker by the name of Samuel German, who developed a type of dark baking chocolate that came to be used in the cake’s recipe. This cake is known for its layers of moist chocolate cake, coconut-pecan frosting, and sometimes, chocolate frosting on the outside. Here’s a classic recipe for you to try:
