Hi, Sam. Bruce here. As you know, I always make my comments on your website or e-mails, so I thought I'd leave a comment here, since I happened to be watching an inferior German chocolate cake on TH-cam. This cake is amazing! The texture is delicate, moist, and wonderful. The chocolate flavor is intense, much like a brownie. The coffee flavor comes through in the batter (in a very nice way), but in the finished cake, just intensifies the chocolate, as Sam tells us. The frosting is similar to Ghirardelli's recipe (on the wrapper for their German's Sweet Chocolate), but is improved by the addition of brown sugar and an additional egg yolk. I prefer their use of 1 1/2 cups each of coconut and pecans, so use your personal taste to decide how much of each to use. A tip I got from America's Test Kitchen is to wait until the frosting is cool to add the toasted pecans, because they will stay crunchy that way. Also, in my experience, the recipe for the chocolate frosting definitely makes enough to frost the sides and add the decorative rosettes on top, so you don't need to make 50% more. Also, from Shirley Corriher's wonderful and educational book Bakewise (She also wrote Cookwise), I learned that if you don't grease the sides of the cake pan, the cake comes out flat on top. When you grease the sides, the cake slips down as it bakes, so the center rises higher. If they are ungrease, the cake climbs up the sides and stays level with the center. That's why an angel food cake is never domed. Then, after the cake has cooled 10 minutes, you can loosen the sides with a knife.
My mother in law mentioned this was her favorite cake, so I made it for her birthday today and it was amazing!!! The cake was moist, chocolatey and nearly reminded me of a brownie. The filling was amazing and paired with the cake was very rich and decadent! A glass of milk with this cake is the perfect combination. Thank you for the recipe!
Hunny when I tell you I went by your exact recipe 😃!!! The only thing I did different than you was I used the german chocolate 🍫, and not the cocoa , but everything else i honestly did the same,and when I tell you it was a game changer!!!, Yassssssss
Hi. I made this cake yesterday... omgoodness delicious! Your videos are SOOO easy to follow; clear, concise, and precise. I will make more of your recipes. Thank you!
Never be afraid to buck tradition... especially with food. The classics will always be there, and we will always go back to them for inspiration (and usually for deliciousness!) but we can still quietly enjoy our own version if we made something that legitimately tastes better. Anyone who says a recipe is perfect is being silly. There's always more flavor to be packed in or a new balance to be discovered! 😃
SPECTACULAR!! I kept searching for a recipe that had a true chocolate cake instead of German chocolate and THIS WAS IT!! In 31 years of marriage I had never made a German Chocolate cake for my husband's birthday, his favorite. But this year I did and he was very happy with it. YUM! Thank you!!❤🎂
Does anyone know how much cake batter this recipe makes in either cups or liters? I want to know since I’m making a bigger version of this cake for 20 people
I've made this before and it turned out SO DELICIOUS OMG. I asked my bf what he wanted for desert for our Valentine's Day dinner and he requested this German Chocolate cake specifically. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
I cannot bake for the life of me! I decided to make this recipe bc my husband had given up on his favorite German Chocolate bc everywhere we go, it’s always a dry cake. Well, let me tell you.. he is in love! The recipe was so easy to follow & has given me hope of baking. I just need to practice. LOL
Looks really delicious,and great tutorial,Thank you.I'll be surprising my hubby by making one for his bday (3-28,,and our wedding anniversary also the same day as his bday)Also,a great way to spend our time snacking at home while this coronavirus has us on a stay at home frustration...God Bless!!
I want to try this cake. But I wanna know where should I keep it at room temperature covered or fridge? New baker here. Thank you in advance to anyone who will answer.
German Chocolate Cake will keep at room temperature (granted you are not in a particularly hot/humid climate) in an airtight container for up to three days. It may also be refrigerated (in an airtight container) for up to a week.
Hi Sam! Judith here from Maine, USA. Can I use this cake in a roll with filling? Most chocolate rolls I find are dry. This one looks really moist. Thank you!
I'm planning to make this cake for a family member's birthday. I don't drink instant coffee, but I'm wondering can I substitute 1 cup of brewed coffee for the hot water instead? Thanks
This looks delicious! I haven't made this in ages, but the next time I do, I will use your recipe. It looks so professional and neat, unlike some versions I've seen. I was impressed with how cleanly the cakes came out of the pans even though you didn't grease the sides. Thanks very much for sharing your recipe! (And I love all of the blue utensils and gadgets in your kitchen!)
I hope you love the cake, but you do need to grease the sides of the pan. I did talk about it, I just didn’t show doing it. I love all of the blue. It’s my favorite color. 😊
@@SugarSpunRun OK, thanks, I guess I didn't notice thee part about greasing the sides and just assumed that you have really great non-stick pans. Thanks again!
Today’s my husbands birthday & I’ve tried it all separately because I’m still letting it cool down LOL but so far it all taste so good I’m ready to devour it! 😭😍
I really appreciate that you explain things like about the chocolate blooming from hot water and stuff like that because I always want to know things but I'm afraid to ask. great tutorial and thank you
@@SugarSpunRun this cake was absolutely AMAZING!!!! A huge hit with my whole family 😋 Everyone was in line for any leftovers 😅 My 92 year old grandpa loved this cake! We decided that I will be making this every year for her birthday from now on 🥳 Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful recipes, Sam 💕 we make a lot of your cake recipes 😊 I recently made your blueberry muffins and it was another hit!
Yes i made this.... it was perfection.. I've been baking for a few years now... the most moist cake I've made... was decadent! Just followed the recipe exactly.. 💯
This cake doesn't make any sense to me! I HATE German Chocolate cake.....or so I thought I did until I made this cake for my wife's Birthday this weekend. I couldn't believe I was digging into this. I barely like chocolate cake and the coconut shavings usually bother the heck out me. This cake is sooooooo good!!!!! I was surprised! My wife loved it as did my MIL and kids. Great recipe!! You got it going on girl!! Only thing I did different was cover the whole thing in the Coconut/Caramel mix
I just made this cake and it is AMAZING!!! I didn't have the teaspoon and a half of instant coffee, so instead of the half cup of very hot water, I used a half cup of freshly brewed coffee. It is such a simple recipe that yields a very impressive and delicious cake. Going to try your pound cake next. Thank you!
@Sugar Spun Run Thanks for sharing. How does this recipe translate into a cupcake recipe. Some cakes don't translate well. Do the ingredients need to be adjusted so the cupcakes will rise and be light?
LOVE YOUR SHOW,DONT KNOW WHAT STATE YOUR IN,BUT WHEN YOU SAID ONE HALF CUP OF WATER AND MILK,LOL,I PUT ONE AND HALF CUPS OF EACH,IM USED TO HEARING HALF CUP IN EAST TEXAS,REMADE IT AND WAS REAL GOOD,THANK YOU,AND OH ,SMILE ALL YOU WANT.😁😁😁
O no! I’m glad you were able to enjoy it in the end. I’ve had people get confused when I say “half cup” as well. It’s always best to just reference the written recipe if need be. 😊
This looks AMAZING! However, what makes German Chocolate Cake a German Chocolate Cake is the use of German Chocolate. A common misconception is that German Chocolate Cake comes from Germany. In fact, the name comes from American baker, Samuel German, who developed a type of dark baking chocolate in 1852. The baking chocolate was then named Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate in honor of German. What you have created here is a delicious chocolate cake with coconut caramel frosting, which is my favorite thing about German Chocolate Cake.
Thanks for the post ma'am chocolate cakes are my favorite and that cake is amazingly delicious and I can't wait to dig in. God gracious everyone medical student Malaysia. 👍✌
So , if it's not the recipe, how is this cake a German Chocolate cake? If your cakes have been dry , you are doing something wrong.. maybe try cooking it less. As always ks.
That's a very impressive looking cake!! Looks better than what you get at a bakery. I love the changes you've made by making the cake more moist and adding a chocolate frosting to it. Can't wait to make it. Thank you...love your recipes!
So this is a chocolate cake with German chocolate cake frosting 🧁 sounds delicious because I love good chocolate cake and the original German chocolate cake isn’t chocolaty enough for me.
This recipe you came up with is the grand winner of all German chocolate cake it is so moist and chocolately. Hands down my husband and family love it. My # 1 cake this holiday. Thank you finally found the one German chocolate cake recipe that isn’t dry.
My mom makes a German Chocolate Cake every year at Christmas. I now live in Germany and haven't been home in three years. This year I plan to cook Thanksgiving dinner for my husbands family, and I will make this cake for dessert. I can't wait
I made this cake tonight for a friend’s birthday tomorrow and it turned out beautifully! I can’t wait to try it! Thank you so much for a wonderful and easy to follow recipe!💕🍫
THANK YOU SO MUCH,THATS THE BEST RECIPE EVER .I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE CHOCOLATE ALL OVER THE CAKE .MY,MY,!!! The cake was screaming for me to come and eat some. YOU HIT THIS ONE OUT OF THE WORLD, FOR GET THE PARK!!!!!!!
I agree with you about the "traditional" German chocolate cake. It's my brother's fav for his birthday and I've always felt that (after all the time and effort) it was a disappointing cake. It is almost flavorless and has no substance. I'm going to try yours next time.
since you add cocnut to the frosting, will adding cocnut oil to the batter instead of canola oil be a good idea? how will adding coconut oil impact the favor and moisture/consistency?
Every german chocolate cake recipe calls it a caramel filling, but none of them actually are caramel at all. They're just brown cause of brown sugar, there is absolutely no caramel in any recipe I've found so far
Another big hit from this channel. I have been a cake decorator for over 35 yrs. Made this for a birthday and nobody wanted to eat the dinner they wanted to just get to the cake. 🥳Even the gifts did not get an honorable mention. But there was a small problem...not enough cake. 😯Some wanted to take some home. So, if your gonna make this cake for a party... make two.🥰🤗😁
Sam dear I made this cake it turned so tasty everyone like it so moist. Thank you dear see if you can make the video of rum Dryfruits Christmas cake. 😄
I cannot wait to make this for a birthday this weekend! I am on fence about frosting... wonder if I should add it, if the people I'm baking for have not had german chocolate cake before. Any thoughts on whether or not to make frosting and add to final cake? Thanks and I'm sure this will be super decadent and way better than the traditional recipe!
Hi hun! I love your cakes🥰 now I want to make this cake, but how can I make it to one extra more 8’ pan? I mean I want 3 - 8 inch cake, how I make it to one pan extra in this recipe?
