German Chocolate Cream Cake

I love the classic German Chocolate Cake – coconut, pecans, and chocolate? Sign me up! However, when I first had this cake and realized it had cream cheese too – I knew I needed the recipe. Luckily, my Aunt Cathie, who is an amazing cook was willing to share. We’ve enjoyed it many times since. Thank you, Aunt Cathie! The fun thing about this recipe is the layers. Using a 9×13 pan, add the cream cheese layer on top before baking and then the chocolate cake layer bakes up and over it. When you serve it, your guests will be surprised by the hidden deliciousness inside.  This simple recipe will be a favorite at your next get together. It is so easy to make and all you need is a mixing bowl and electric mixer to help get you started. It is quick and easy with all the flavor you will love! Add this cake to your next family dinner night and you will see just how simple this cake is!

Is it Really German?

Contrary to popular belief, German Chocolate Cake is not actually from Germany. It is an American dessert that was created by Samuel German in the 1950s. It was originally called German’s Chocolate Cake. Samuel German actually created the formula for the dark baking chocolate used in the cake.
