German Chocolate Cake 

No it isn't from Germany!

In spite of it's name German Chocolate is in fact an American creation. It has the essential ingredients of sweet baking chocolate, coconut and pecans. The German Chocolate cake took it's name from a 19th century American named Sam German.

Sam German created the mild dark baking chocolate bar for Baker's Chocolate Company in 1852. This became Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate. Somewhere along the way the 's' was dropped and the confusion started about the origins of the chocolate.

The first published recipe for German chocolate cake appeared in 1957 in a Dallas newspaper and quickly became one of America's most popular chocolate cakes
