THE NON-GERMAN GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE


The German chocolate cake has nothing to do with Germany. The chocolate used in the cake was developed by Sam German in 1852 and was originally marketed by Baker's Chocolate Company as "Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate."

The recipe for the cake itself first showed up in 1957, when it was published in a Dallas newspaper from a submission by a homemaker--a very inspired homemaker at that.
