German Chocolate Cake

Share or Save for Later

This recipe is AH-mazing!!! I’ve been making it for years and my husband asks for it for his birthday ever since I started making it.

When I say it’s a favorite with everyone that has tried it I really mean it!

I’ve made this several times and it always tastes great! 

It’s become a tradition to have it on three different occasions every year.

The only adjustment you can make is to double the German chocolate frosting because my family is obsessed with it.
