Chef AJ's Famous German Chocolate Cake

[@Scrapheap68]

Absolutely gorgeous cake! Very inspired to make this!

[@Grateful4plants]

OMG, I have had this cake made by Chef AJ and it is decadent and absolutely delicious! Best dessert I’ve ever had.

[@healthylife4u122]

Made this exactly per the recipe and can see why it's "world famous", it is delicious and family members took some of the leftovers home , it was surprisingly simple to make with the clear instructions. Thank you for focusing on recipes now! Every recipe I've made of yours has been fabulous.

[@juliegillies6688]

Oh no I wanted to see it cut and you try a piece. Oh well thank you, looks amazing

[@denisegazal9069]

It's Amazing! Thanks, Chef AJ

[@SusanClendaniel]

Great video! Can’t wait to receive my copy of your cookbook. I preordered it from Amazon!

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you!

[@evoluna3056]

Sweet Indulgence, right? I pre ordered it on Amazon Germany and I am looking forward to it. 😊👍🧁

[@di_kid00]

Wow. Your recipes are divine and I cannot wait to try this one! Genius use of the blender

[@kimberlywenzl2771]

Made it today! Perfection ❤ taste, such a beautiful cake! We all went crazy over this cake. Thank you chef Aj…

[@CHEFAJ]

My pleasure 😊

[@renesmith7419]

You can cut slices and put them in individual bags (ziploc) and put in the freezer until you want a piece.

[@CathrinCatherine]

So smart of you to simply make it gluten-free! Doesn’t hurt the people who aren’t sensitive to it but will delight people who do have that intolerance. You’re so kind :) 🌱

[@donnabaker1707]

Wow what an incredible looking cake! I will have to find a special occasion to make it for in the Fall!

[@ehendriks3328]

I made this cake for my husband's birthday. It was delicious! It is so decadent, and that mousse is divine. He talked about it for days after. This would be a hit with any crowd. This cake with just the mousse as frosting is delicious, too.

[@HannaR2049]

yum - that looks so good, Chef AJ! I will definitely try making that this summer!

[@GameOver-jq1cu]

Thanks for linking the recipe… most of the videos with your guests I don’t watch because there isn’t a recipe to follow…so THANK YOU !! CHEF AJ🙏🙌💕

[@CHEFAJ]

You are so welcome!

[@karaleenicholson3423]

Deliciously decadent ! My bday is coming up so I will have to give it a try. Can’t wait for your book to arrive.

[@kristinewalkley9314]

Love your tip to clean the blade of the food processor. Genius!

[@Jenekks]

Thank you, I may make this next Chanukah. I will freeze the leftovers in portioned slices. I also preodered the book and can't wait to get it. I haven't heard of date sweetened chocolate chips. Wow ❤.

[@ajcochrane007]

I've been a fan of yours for years, but haven't made desserts since kids were around to eat them. But you've hooked me on this one. Looking forward to your new book. Thanks

[@vi3472]

Is there a way to thin out the icing so it spreads a little easier?

Can you use store-bought date paste instead of making your own?

Yum!

[@traceykaminski7874]

I AM IN LOVE ❤❤❤

[@TheAmazongrl]

Looks so good. I am new to this type of baking and often freeze my cake layers and sometimes freeze a filled and frosted cake. I imagine the actual cake freezes well, but has anyone tried to freeze the filled and frosted cake? I’m curious how it turned out. I am thinking the filling may not freeze well with the tofu.

[@CHEFAJ]

Yes, it can be frozen!

[@TheAmazongrl]

Great! It is so much easier to frost and build a frozen cake.

[@yvonneraley3050]

Oh goody. You answered my question about cupcakes 🧁 Thankyou!

[@eddunn3427]

Thank you

You're welcome

[@tosca...]

What a fabulous looking chocolate cake AJ! Thank you so much for showing us your 'how to' to make your German Chocolate Cake. I think that's one I can safely say, with kids and grandkids who like chocolate cake best above all, that this may well become a regular. I love your approach to washing up! It looks like you are really enjoying your new kitchen, although you've always showed us how to make the best of the space we have. Thanks for sharing this AJ, it truly looks wonderful 🙏💜 I'm really looking forward to getting your new book. It will happily join Unprocessed and “Secrets” on my kitchen bench (as distinct from the vegan section on my bookshelf). My recent move has been a wonderful opportunity to rid myself of so, so many cookbooks I will never use again, although most were vegetarian, since that's what I've been since the age of 12. I've ordered it from an Australian bookseller you don't link to. The Aussie $ to US $ conversion is rather eye watering unfortunately! But it really looks great. I've not got into vegan desserts but the are necessary in life, especially when entertaining non vegans. It's one way to suck them in! 😅

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you!

[@annastepanova2635]

Thank you. Is there any recipe of cake you have video on KZbin,which doesn't contain nuts and coconut?

[@LaTaifasronatural]

It's waaaay too much dates. You can make this with bananas or other fruits that have a low calorie density, or just exclude the external layer which is just too caloric.

[@Fruitfulbarbie]

I just omitted the frosting and used the filling instead and topped all off with lots of berries!! 😋

[@cynthiapotter97]

My two sons’ birthdays are coming up and I can’t wait to try this!! Neither is vegan but I’m quietly working on it! They’re in their 20s and my goal is for them to see the light by their mid thirties. I don’t want them to have any idea that this is my goal! Your recipes always illustrate to them that SOS plant based is delicious and that they are giving up nothing when they eat this way! Love you Chef AJ! I hope I meet you in person someday! ❤

[@CHEFAJ]

Great strategy--I hope they enjoy!

[@kimskitchen123]

Beautiful cake chef AJ! Every year my mother would ask us what kind of cake we wanted for our birthday my wish was always German chocolate cake she made it from scratch not whole food plant-based but it was so delicious. I can’t wait to make this recipe. It will have to be for a very special occasion. Congratulations on your new cookbook❤❤❤

[@melissagalindo4246]

Looks delicious but maybe too much caffeine for me... is there an alternative

[@MartinVran]

And too much saturated fat in both coconut and cocoa. I don't know, what's the flour out of, but just the fact it's grinded so much to become flour screams too rapid absortion. I myself sometimes eat way too much date paste, but doesn't change that it's loaded with concentrated fructose. It's probably one of the least harmful sweetener with significant benefits of fibre and micronutrients, though. See how Dr. Rogers doesn't fit with promo of desserts like this. But even I sometimes tend to overdo excentricity and critism - not that much difference between autistic weirdo like myself and excentric genius like Dr. Rogers, when it comes to social skills 😂

Wow. How many calories and fat grams are in this? I can't believe the calorie density queen would make such a thing.😮

[@jencollier8306]

Makes me sad. I’ve seen her do some real kitchen wizardry with health in mind vs sales. But that’s what it’s about everywhere.

[@lyndielou1212]

Chef AJ creates deserts for everyone in the family with the key being they are made with all fruit and nothing but the fruit, and contain no oil or salt. Obviously, you wouldn't eat this if your goal is to lose weight, but family members may enjoy it as an alternative to a processed cake loaded with oil, chemicals, sugar and fat.

[@lyndielou1212]

@@jencollier8306 She absolutely does have health in mind, even with higher density foods that don't contain processed oil, refined sugar and other chemicals.

[@deecapps6637]

@@lyndielou1212I guess I'm not her target audience cause I'm slightly overweight with a sugar addiction 🤔 I guess I wasn't expecting such rich desserts from a former overweight sugar addict herself.

[@peter5.056]

It's a cake. I'm sure it's intended to be eaten rarely, and like Chef AJ says, if it's in your house, it's in your mouth. So..... if you don't want it in your mouth, don't make it;) But for people celebrating a birthday or maybe for a holiday dinner, this cake is awesome:)

[@lookthecity01]

But chocolate is full of Saturated fat , right ?we do not eat red meat because is full of saturated fat, but it is ok chocolate ?

[@CHEFAJ]

We don't eat meat because it's from a slaughtered animal. Dessert is an occasional treat/choice based on an individual's health/weight goals.

[@bitfinesse]

I’m wanna see Chef AJ make a mound of pitted medjool and barhi dates, shape them into the shape of a cake and top it with coconut. 🌴 wanna know how much it weighs, I wanna see how dense it is and I wanna see what it looks like to cut into it. Then just mail it to me. I’ll pay. Better be a real brick, though 👊🏼
