German chocolate cake is a layered chocolate cake filled and topped with a coconut, pecan frosting.
Despite its name, German chocolate cake was not developed in Germany. British chef Sam German first concocted German's chocolate for Baker's Chocolate in 1852. Over a century later, his chocolate was used in the first German chocolate cake created by a Texan housewife.What's Cooking America: German Chocolate Cake History
