The German Chocolate Cake is famous because it tastes fancy — but it’s actually simple.

HISTORY
Fun fact: German Chocolate Cake is NOT from Germany!
It was named after “Samuel German” — a chocolatier in the 1800s — who created a special sweet chocolate baking bar.
American bakers took that chocolate and created the famous cake we know today:
chocolate sponge + coconut pecan frosting = ICONIC.
FORMATION (why this cake works)

This cake is visually beautiful and flavor-balanced.
