Layers of chocolate cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting! We love chocolate so any chocolate cake will do today!
Fun Fact! It gets its name from Sam German, who created a type of dark baking chocolate for the Baker’s Chocolate Company in 1852. The cake became popular in the United States after a recipe for “German’s Chocolate Cake” was published in a Dallasnewspaper in 1957.
The cake typically consists of layers of chocolate cake, a coconut-pecan frosting, and sometimes chocolate frosting. The cake batter is made with ingredients such as flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and eggs. The frosting is made with ingredients such as coconut, pecans, sugar, and evaporated milk.
