Not So German Chocolate Cake

[John McLaughlin]

I made a not so German Chocolate cake. I say not so German because it was named after an American Baker, whose last name was German. He creative the baker's chocolate. It is definitley one for those with a sweet tooth. The topping is a pecan-coconut topping and the side is covered in a chocolate ganache.

I can feel my blood sugar climbing

It's been so long since I had this, and my grandma is hands-down the standard to beat. This is one dessert item I miss, due to health issues, but this brings back great memories for me. Thanks for sharing!

That has been the cake I have requested for my birthday for the past 58 years. Love it. Most people do not know the origin of the name as you correctly described. Sometimes I get the 9 x 13 single layer version in between birthdays. I have seen with chocolate icing on the side but it looks fantastic.
