German Chocolate Cake

German Chocolate Cake

EverydaySweetened

German Chocolate Cake is a layered American dessert featuring sweet chocolate cake paired with a signature coconut-pecan frosting made from evaporated milk, egg yolks, and caramelized sugar. Despite its name, the cake originated in the United States and was named after Samuel German, who developed the dark baking chocolate used in early recipes. This indulgent dessert is notably rich in saturated fats and sugars due to its frosting base, while also containing common allergens including nuts, eggs, and gluten-containing wheat flour.
