German Chocolate Cake combines three layers of rich, delicate, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate cake with an unforgettable coconut pecan frosting. Each bite of this beautiful cake is more delicious than the last, making it a great dessert for almost any occasion! Three layers of chocolate cake are baked to perfection with a few simple steps, and the stove-top frosting is so easy to make that even beginners should feel confident baking this recipe. This is one of my ALL time favorite cakes, I hope you love it too.

I always explain to people that German chocolate cake was not named after the country, but was named after a man named German, and Baker’s chocolate wasn’t named after the occupation, but was named after a man named Baker. I love stories about words as much as I love John’s teaching videos.

People used to rave about my grandmas German chocolate cake and begged for the recipe. She would giggle and say, I got it off the Baker’s Chocolate wrapper. 😂

If I remember right it's called german chocolate cake not because it's from Germany but rather because there use to be a 'german chocolate' brand of chocolate that was once popular in the US and the recipe was started by that brand

This was the exact cake my mom used to make from scratch about once a year at most. She was a perfectionist and it took hours but it was so delicious.

I grew up 5 miles from Mrs. Clay's house on Academy Drive in Dallas. I never knew it until the story of the origin of this cake came out on the internet. I do know it was our family favorite and the men in the family requested it for their birthday every year. Another coincidence is that I was born in 1957, the year this recipe was published in the Dallas Morning News. The recipe became so popular, The Baker's company started printing it on the label of their product.

Thank you, John. I never trust a German chocolate recipe that doesn’t use Baker’s brand chocolate. There’s something very distinct about it in association with this particular cake.

My sister's birthday was yesterday, and she requested a German Chocolate cake. I tried this recipe, and it was so good! The consistency of the cake was perfect. My nephew said it was the best cake he had ever eaten (in all of his 7 years of experience lol). Needless to say, I binged on your videos, and I can't wait to make more of your recipes!

It doesn't help that places like Coldstone have an ice cream mix called Germanchökolätekäke, which isn't German either. It's just crazy English with umlauts. Thanks for this wonderful cake by Samuel German and Mrs. George Clay. That frosting looks superb, to say the least.

Winter tip: use the hairdryer in warm/hot setting to keep the butter at the needed temperature. If it starts to harden apply a little heat and if it is too much just stop. Regulate as needed.
