OLD SCHOOL GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE

[@lisamaddox5711]

This brought tears to my eyes for so many reasons. My mother-in-law used to make German Chocolate Cake that was out of this world. She passed away 8 years ago and I can still smell her food and hear her say, "There ain't nothing to this!" when she was showing me how to cook. This tutorial really made me miss her even more!!

[@ReetyredLyfe4me]

Same here @linda Maddox my Mom and oldest sister would make me one for my birthday. Soon as I seen the can of Pet Milk.. Pure love 💘 I'm 61 and still get it right

[@melbarojas6386]

How do get the recipe

[@sheilahtaylor3005]

I miss my Mom too!!! I completely understand 💞💞💞

[@mzunderstood5413]

Omg my mom made a German chocolate cake every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. She passed away 5 years ago and it still hurts. Watching you make this cake bought back so many memories

[@faithhope7990]

This is my favorite birthday cake. I will have to make it myself

[@ca080861]

8 years ago, my aunt passed, and she who was the queen of huge, layered German Chocolate Cakes. I found her partial recipe but couldn't come close. This recipe hit! If she was here, she'd wink and say, you got it, girl! Thank you~

[@kellibreann4614]

Hello all. A little late to the game, but I made this cake for Thanksgiving 2022. I paused and played the video and made it right alongside you. Keep up the good work. I love the old-school recipes. I always look for videos like this when I'm trying new recipes out. There are 2 different types of chefs on KZbin. The ones that spend all their money on fancy camera equipment and none on the ingredients. And the real MVPs that just throw a camera up and invest in really good quality ingredients.

[@nicholemartin7862]

I made this recipe step by step for my step dad 2 years ago Father’s Day, he passed that September. The last text he sent me was about how good this cake was and to keep this recipe. I’m emotional even watching this video… Thank you for this recipe❤

Nothing better than homemade German choco cake! My favorite!

This is the cake i requested for my 21 birthday that my mother in law made ! My daughter was born the next day. I love German Chocolate Cake. Thank you,YUMMY😋

[@patricefakorede785]

My great grandma just passed last week at 97. She was well known for her German chocolate cake. It’s my dad’s favorite. I can’t wait to make this for him. Just watching this video made my heart smile ❤

[@sshirleyks]

I finally made this cake. Oh my goodness! This is the best cake I’ve ever made! I can’t believe how soft and fluffy the cake part is! I made a couple of mistakes, but it still worked out. My frosting got too thick in the pan, so it didn’t flow like yours did. Also, I got sweetened coconut by mistake. But it still was delicious. I think every dish in my kitchen is dirty, but it’s worth it! Thank you!

[@sheilahtaylor3005]

It'll be even better the next time you make! This is how we learn thru our mistakes. Mouthwatering goodness 😍

[@BrendaSmith-lj6og]

What kind of chocolate y put in the mixed

[@Pleaseandthankyou.656]

I always use sweeten coconut for 12 years.

I love cooking and baking... I actually graduated from Culinary Institute in 2003 here in my hometown of New Orleans... I'm so eager to try some of your recipes... I will as soon as our power is restored in Louisiana...💙

[@shestudios]

How did it come out chef 👩🏾‍🍳?

[@janicescott6569]

YES!!! This is the authentic recipe with the bar of unsweetened chocolate and folding in the egg whites, plus buttermilk! Well worth the extra steps! I’m going to make one. I usually do the cake hacks but this is so special!

[@imademps]

My first German Chocolate Cake was an epic fail! I watched you're entire video twice, and followed your instructions - Perfection!

I know this video came out four years ago, but still, I watch now and nearly brings me to tears. I'm not sure why, I think it's just... the genuine love for cooking and for humanity and for others that is displayed by this video (and your other videos as well). Thank you so much for all you do, God bless you.

How do you make an Italian Cream Cake. I love them and they look so pretty. I'd rather try it from scratch though.

Great history lesson on the origins of the cake!!!

[@elizabethkail3006]

I made this and I am not a cook. It was certainly a process, but the video helped so much! It was such a hit and everyone just loved it. It was not only the best German chocolate cake I’ve ever had, it truly was the best cake I have ever tasted. Thank you! It’s my new special dessert!

Thank you, so much for taking time to show each step. My husband ask for a german chocolate cake from scratch for his birthday. The cake was wonderful!

[@sherylpatterson6022]

I love how you told the history of the German chocolate cake 🍰. You are absolutely right. My grandfather was German and I lived in Germany for 3 years. Americans when visiting had to learn that concept real quick because they couldn't figure out why they couldn't find German chocolate cake in the bakeries. Germany's popular German chocolate cake is the Black Forest Cake. A type of Cherry Torte. If you never have had it you need to try it Chef Jeffery. It's my favorite German chocolate cake. It's sehr gute! (It's very good!)

I was stationed in Germany for two years so I relate to and appreciate your comment very much.

[@sjs-stev]

I was confused when I was younger because my step-grandparents were Texas Germans and she made German Chocolate cake. I thought it was German because she was German. It was years later that I realized it wasn’t German. But at least it is Texan-and she was a Native born Texan, so I was half right.

[@franceswitham8214]

No dessert holds the memories, especially of Christmas, as the German Chocolate cake. It wasn't Christmas without this cake. I was probably 8 when my Mom first made it for us. She is in her heavenly kitchen now, I'll be 68 in January and I'm the one who's made them for the last 25-30 years. Thank you for bringing a wonderful dessert to everyone. God Bless.

[@yves4bitnsweets386]

Omg I'm so glad I stumbled across your video. I made this 2 days ago but I made it into cupcakes, my family ate them all up. Now I'm literally making a order for someone. I just changed up the sugar.

Hey Grandad! I just made TWO of these cakes for the first time today and it came out soo well! Well actually I made a mistake on the first cake batter and forgot to mix the buttermilk in and had to do it after I folded the whites in.. I think that cake came out a little stiff.. but the other cake was on point! Thanks soo much, I’m going to save this recipe for future reference! Have a blessed day!
