It's been a long time coming! I've got a German Chocolate Cheesecake and German Chocolate Cookie Stacks, but no actual cake. I actually first made this cake a couple years ago, but wasn't completely happy with it so it got pushed aside until now. 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. This Authentic German's Chocolate Cake is the original recipe for this super moist, mild chocolate cake, and it's frosted with the most delectable Pecan Coconut Frosting that you'll ever eat!!
