German Chocolate Cake

Although Germany is famous for tall, multi-layered torten with alternating layers of cream, cake, fruit, nuts, beer, sausages, etc. German Chocolate Cake is decidedly the result of good-old American ingenuity. Deep, dark chocolate cake is layered with a rich filling of toasty coconut and pecans, then glazed with a slick, bittersweet chocolate icing. It's based on a recipe using Bakers, Chocolate, a company which employed Samuel German in 1852, hence the name. The first version of German's Chocolate Cake of which the apostrophe is part of the original name, was created in the mid 1950's.
