Growing up there were seven people in my family, and almost every single one of us would ask for this German Chocolate Cake for our birthday.
I was super lucky, being a twin, because my mom would make both of my favorites! German chocolate cake for my sister, and carrot cake for me! What better than a little sliver of each for your birthday?
My mom always made it inside-out, with the coconut frosting in between the layers and on top of the cake, and homemade chocolate frosting covering the outside.
WHAT IS GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE?
The name German chocolate cake is a little deceiving as it is not actually a German dessert and traditionally the cake is a lighter colored cake with a mild chocolate taste and the entire cake is usually covered in coconut pecan frosting. My families version is a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting covering the cake and coconut frosting on top and in the center of the cake. This cake seriously can’t be beat, especially if you’re a chocolate lover!To Make this Recipe You’Il Need the following ingredients:
Air Fryer Fried Egg Sandwich
Pork Chops and Scalloped Potatoes Casserole
Hearty Chickpea and Veggie Casserole
Garlic potato pancakes filled with melted cheese
Fried Bologna Sandwiches
Ex-Husband’s Cart Full of Toys—The Heartbreaking Reason Why
Broccoli and Cheddar Twice Baked Potatoes
This is called ‘Christmas Salad’ and it tastes better than any other salad I’ve had!
I really like this small version of the recipe because I can enjoy it multiple times during the day!
