I am so excited to share this cake with you today. 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.
