Oh Betty, I want those German Chocolate cakes!!! Happy birthday Tinafea and Lac!!! Oh, dancy, TBH, I don't know or think that they are typical German chocolate cakes! (... to me they look more like they are from the US, lol!)  I don't only look for cakes on German internet-pages but also on US-/UK- and other international internet-pages every day, so unfortunately I don't remember where I found those cakes! 
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_chocolate_cake
Contrary to popular belief, German chocolate cake did not originate in Germany. Its roots can be traced back to 1852 when American Sam German developed a type of dark baking chocolate for the American Baker's Chocolate Company. The brand name of the product, Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate, was named in honor of him.
On June 3, 1957, a recipe for "German's Chocolate Cake" appeared as the "Recipe of the Day" in the Dallas Morning Star.[2] It was created by Mrs. George Clay, a homemaker from 3831 Academy Drive, Dallas, Texas.[2] This recipe used the baking chocolate introduced 105 years prior and became quite popular. General Foods, which owned the Baker's brand at the time, took notice and distributed the cake recipe to other newspapers in the country. Sales of Baker's Chocolate are said to have increased by as much as 73% and the cake would become a national staple. The possessive form (German's) was dropped in subsequent publications, forming the "German Chocolate Cake" identity we know today and giving the false impression of a German origin.

Old interview but one I missed. It automatically switched to this after I watched the video I posted a few minutes ago. You will enjoy it even if you've seen it before. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoN4vhJHj1E |

Just looking over the page one summary of Adam's exposure this last weekend, I would have to say Shoshanna's tweet is an understatement. Something to the effect of "This was a good week."  |
