How to Make German Chocolate Cake

[@alexisc9255]

My mother in law mentioned this was her favorite cake, so I made it for her birthday today and it was amazing!!! The cake was moist, chocolatey and nearly reminded me of a brownie. The filling was amazing and paired with the cake was very rich and decadent! A glass of milk with this cake is the perfect combination. Thank you for the recipe!

[@SugarSpunRun]

You're welcome! I'm so glad it was such a hit! :)

[@milliethemillinator3154]

SPECTACULAR!! I kept searching for a recipe that had a true chocolate cake instead of German chocolate and THIS WAS IT!! In 31 years of marriage I had never made a German Chocolate cake for my husband's birthday, his favorite. But this year I did and he was very happy with it. YUM! Thank you!!❤🎂

[@BeforeMoviesSucked]

Never be afraid to buck tradition... especially with food. The classics will always be there, and we will always go back to them for inspiration (and usually for deliciousness!) but we can still quietly enjoy our own version if we made something that legitimately tastes better. Anyone who says a recipe is perfect is being silly. There's always more flavor to be packed in or a new balance to be discovered! 😃

[@SugarSpunRun]

That’s a good way to look at it! 😊

[@deelkasjones8250]

Hunny when I tell you I went by your exact recipe 😃!!! The only thing I did different than you was I used the german chocolate 🍫, and not the cocoa , but everything else i honestly did the same,and when I tell you it was a game changer!!!, Yassssssss

I cannot bake for the life of me! I decided to make this recipe bc my husband had given up on his favorite German Chocolate bc everywhere we go, it’s always a dry cake. Well, let me tell you.. he is in love! The recipe was so easy to follow & has given me hope of baking. I just need to practice. LOL

[@collegealgebravideos9540]

Hi, Sam. Bruce here. As you know, I always make my comments on your website or e-mails, so I thought I'd leave a comment here, since I happened to be watching an inferior German chocolate cake on KZbin. This cake is amazing! The texture is delicate, moist, and wonderful. The chocolate flavor is intense, much like a brownie. The coffee flavor comes through in the batter (in a very nice way), but in the finished cake, just intensifies the chocolate, as Sam tells us. The frosting is similar to Ghirardelli's recipe (on the wrapper for their German's Sweet Chocolate), but is improved by the addition of brown sugar and an additional egg yolk. I prefer their use of 1 1/2 cups each of coconut and pecans, so use your personal taste to decide how much of each to use. A tip I got from America's Test Kitchen is to wait until the frosting is cool to add the toasted pecans, because they will stay crunchy that way. Also, in my experience, the recipe for the chocolate frosting definitely makes enough to frost the sides and add the decorative rosettes on top, so you don't need to make 50% more. Also, from Shirley Corriher's wonderful and educational book Bakewise (She also wrote Cookwise), I learned that if you don't grease the sides of the cake pan, the cake comes out flat on top. When you grease the sides, the cake slips down as it bakes, so the center rises higher. If they are ungrease, the cake climbs up the sides and stays level with the center. That's why an angel food cake is never domed. Then, after the cake has cooled 10 minutes, you can loosen the sides with a knife.

[@hadessah8643]

Thx for the tip. Will definitely do that from now on!

This looks AMAZING! However, what makes German Chocolate Cake a German Chocolate Cake is the use of German Chocolate. A common misconception is that German Chocolate Cake comes from Germany. In fact, the name comes from American baker, Samuel German, who developed a type of dark baking chocolate in 1852. The baking chocolate was then named Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate in honor of German. What you have created here is a delicious chocolate cake with coconut caramel frosting, which is my favorite thing about German Chocolate Cake.

[@philsalsbery9994]

@@SugarSpunRun Well, I made the cake, and it came out great, super moist, chocolatey and delicious. However, I went without the chocolate frosting, and made the coconut pecan mixture at 1.5% of the recipe to cover more. Rather than the 1.5% of the evaporated milk, which was 12 ounces, I think I should have kept it at 8 ounces. The mixture would not thicken, and once spread on the cake, it kept leaching out liquid around the base of the cake. After a half roll of paper towels to soak it all up, I think it is done. Now I understand why you make the chocolate frosting dam around this gooey mixture on both levels. Live and learn, right? Thanks again.

It was so funny. My dad will be 90 in May and he was asking for a German chocolate cake, which is his favorite.

Sugar Spun Run it is soooo moist and delicious.i must admit i had to remake the cakes as they fell. Not sure if i just need a longer time in my oven or what. Second round i added 2 tsp baking powder just in case. So yummy! Very rich.

[@SugarSpunRun]

O no I’m sorry they fell! The extra baking powder could make them fall as well. If they fell the main culprits are over-mixing the batter, under-mixing the batter or most likely as you had said under baking. Did you try the toothpick test when you pulled them from the oven?

[@ChangeisGoodwithPam]

Sugar Spun Run not the first tim. They were so nice and rounded i didnt think i needed to, but second round i did. Had to bake extra 20 min. Might be my oven. But it was worth it.
