The name came from one Sam German (1802-88) who invented a form of mild, dark baking chocolate for Baker's Chocolate Company in 1852. The first published recipe for the cake that every Texas mother and grandmother can make with their eyes closed appeared in June 1957. The Dallas Morning News published the recipe from homemaker Mrs. George Calay. It was named "German's Chocolate Cake" initially but it was later simplified to German chocolate cake. The recipe, with the special help of General Foods, was spread across the country. www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/texas/article/The-not-so-German-origins-of-German-Chocolate-12901454.php?ipid=hpctp#photo-8550169I have never made a German chocolate cake. I am putting, 'Making a top notch German chocolate cake' on my bucket list. Anybody got any tips?

Only tip I can give is to leave out the coconut (I hate coconut texture), but that would probably just make it a chocolate frosted cake.

Lots of practice! lol
I would say to start with quality ingredients. It really does make a difference.

Best tip I have is to not be fooled by mixes that are said to be "just as good." Not!!! Buy good ingredients, allow enough time and enjoy. Don't make it in a sheet pan. Use three layers and put the frosting in between the layers. Oh my, it's worth it, Interestingly, it's not a really "chocolaty" cake; mostly just rich.
