I always explain to people that German chocolate cake was not named after the country, but was named after a man named German, and Baker’s chocolate wasn’t named after the occupation, but was named after a man named Baker. I love stories about words as much as I love John’s teaching videos.
I am from germany an clicking on this video I wondered why I don‘t know about this cake.. now I know😁
@@cansuozbey8267, same here! 😂
My aunt made this and it was the best GCC I’ve ever had. I had to have the recipe and she said “Preppy Kitchen”. The caption is right, it is THE best!
This is Hubby's favorite cake and it's his birthday week. Your timing is perfect!
My husband loves it too! His birthday was a few days ago, but he didn't have a cake.... I might just have to sneakily make this for him. 😊
People used to rave about my grandmas German chocolate cake and begged for the recipe. She would giggle and say, I got it off the Baker’s Chocolate wrapper. 😂
German chocolate cake is my absolute favorite, despite the fact that I do not like coconut (go figure). Today is my birthday, my family lives in another city and my room mate is out of town, so it’s just me and my pups. So, I’m going to make this cake for myself. I used John’s recipe last year and by far, hands down, it is the best German chocolate cake I’ve ever had. Thank you John. My best to you and your beautiful little family!
i used to bake this cake back in the 1960s whe ever we had a pot luck i took one and it was always a hit
Love your enthusiasm when making videos and your attention to detail!
right!! his videos are just so comforting !
Looove it. Though as a german i never saw this cake 😂. Ahhh Samuel German 😅😅😅
Same here! 😂
If I remember right it's called german chocolate cake not because it's from Germany but rather because there use to be a 'german chocolate' brand of chocolate that was once popular in the US and the recipe was started by that brand
This is so amazing looking! I’m gonna try it!
@@ashton4847 I guess you're right. Tbh I commented before I watched the full video soo 😅
lol he literally mentions all of this at the beginning of the video
I grew up 5 miles from Mrs. Clay's house on Academy Drive in Dallas. I never knew it until the story of the origin of this cake came out on the internet. I do know it was our family favorite and the men in the family requested it for their birthday every year. Another coincidence is that I was born in 1957, the year this recipe was published in the Dallas Morning News. The recipe became so popular, The Baker's company started printing it on the label of their product.
Oh my, double the frosting, absolutely in my book!! This has always been my favorite cake for my birthday, i just had one and I am treating myself to your recipe!! Thank you John!
Thank you, John. I never trust a German chocolate recipe that doesn’t use Baker’s brand chocolate. There’s something very distinct about it in association with this particular cake.
My partner asked me to make this for him for his birthday this month, and you post this? It’s meant to be❤
My Mother always made this cake for our birthdays (6kids)... and you got it right - we're Texans! Thanks for the memories, Mom! RIP
I just love your recipes and the way you cook.❤❤❤
I really appreciate your tutorials, been following for a while but have finally subscribed! I now understand why you explain things so well because you were once a math & science teacher. The step by step guide, small hints and tips, clear voice … it’s all appreciated! Thank you ☺️
I just made this. This was the 2nd recipe I’ve tried and this one blows it out of the water. The extra frosting was a great touch. My entire family was really enjoying it.
this was one of the first cakes my mom taught me to make 40plus years ago, your recipe is perfect. The one thing I do is toast half of the coconut for a few minutes. it makes the frosting even more toffee like
Love your recipes. Can’t wait for your new book to come out. 😊
Love it my friend wow many thanks always bless with your family really appreciate everything you do
Thanks for showing all the little details of the recipe, John. I always learn something - love your videos!
Omg, this looks so delicious!! Can’t wait to try it. I love ALL your recipes.

My sister's birthday was yesterday, and she requested a German Chocolate cake. I tried this recipe, and it was so good! The consistency of the cake was perfect. My nephew said it was the best cake he had ever eaten (in all of his 7 years of experience lol). Needless to say, I binged on your videos, and I can't wait to make more of your recipes!
My absolute favorite cake! Looks delicious! 😋

Looks amazing
I was the child that requested this for my birthday cake. Graduated from choclate cake with seven minute frowting. Mom thank you
This was such a helpful video. Making this for my mother-in-law’s birthday next week!
This was the exact cake my mom used to make from scratch about once a year at most. She was a perfectionist and it took hours but it was so delicious.
My favorite cake!!
Hi Shana, nice to meet you. sorry hope I’m not intruding, you have a wonderful profile I just wanted to say hello. Hope you are having a wonderful day?
When I was growing up in Northern Colorado, the local supermarket chain sold German chocolate danish pastries! They were our favorite weekend breakfast treat. I haven't seen them in years...John, it seems like the perfect thing for you to try your hand at to develop a recipe?
Looks really yummy yummy
My favorite cake and yours looks AHmazinG!
So delicious
Glad to see no cake pan strips! I made your recipe twice, first no cake strips and the cake was perfect. The second time with the strips the cake was dense like a brownie.
Great video John😊😊
I'm so making this ❤
Loved it❤❤❤
This looks amazing! I have not had a German chocolate cake in a very long time. I wish I had a slice right now.
I made it and it is amazing! I’m not a chocolate cake fan but this is different than chocolate. It’s lighter. Moist and fluffy. Thank you!
My family's all time favorite chocolate cake for the past 3 generations.😋
Wowwww so yummy 😋
THE BEST CAKE EVER!!!
This looks soooo fantastic! But I'm in the middle of making your English muffins and watching your bagel video. But this cake will be made as soon as I check to make sure i have the ingrediance. Always wanted to make this:)🥰🤩😘You're the best!
I could probably watch and listen to you bake all day. How do you stay so slim.
Looks good 😊
Need this recipe!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!
LOVE WAY FROSTING CAME DOWN!!!!!
Can't wait to make this, this weekend. 🕵🏻♀️
I will absolutely make it halving the sugar and the butter, looking forward.
I’m so glad to see the real German chocolate recipe. German chocolate cakes ARE NOT a dark chocolate cake with pecan and coconut frosting and chocolate icing around the edges.
Thanks!
Great teacher
Love it yummy 😋
My favorite
Deeeeeelicious!! 😋😋😋
Прекрасный торт!
This is my husbands favorite cake. Good old Betty Crocker cake mix and icing. 😂I haven't made a homemade cake in years, but I'm hooked John. 😋 I'm making this cake for sure soooooo move over Betty Crocker 😂I'm making John's cake and icing. ❤ You are the best ❤
This frosting's texture looks very similar to the Brazilian brigadeiro. Amazing! 😊
As a baker, I am often asked to bring desserts when invited to dinner. German’s Chocolate Cake was my father’s favorite.
Very nice n delicious. 🙂😊.
Omg looks so yum!! Definitely will make it ilove ur recipes!! You saved us
Awesome
In my top two favorite cakes.
Can't wait to try this amazing recipe. Where can I find that rustic bowl? I love it!
New camera?! This quality is incredible and I'm sad if it was my fault I ever missed out.
Please keep doing what you're doing! I send most of your recipes to my sister who loves to bake and wants all the inspiration. Much love!
I love the German chocolate cake videos ❤❤
I used only 200 grams of sugar instead of 350 grams in the recipe, and the sweetness is just right.
By medium, I meant high. 😂 Love your recipes, John. I try a lot of them and they are ALWAYS fabulous! ❤
Funny story. We were in Germany for 4 years. I made German chocolate cake for our German friends... they loved it but never heard of German chocolate cake before. 😅😅😅
Uhauuuu bárbaro!! 😋😋🤩🤩👏👏👏
Making this for my son’s birthday tomorrow 🥳🥳🥳🥳
I love me some German chocolate 🍫 cake yummy 😋🤤
It doesn't help that places like Coldstone have an ice cream mix called Germanchökolätekäke, which isn't German either. It's just crazy English with umlauts. Thanks for this wonderful cake by Samuel German and Mrs. George Clay. That frosting looks superb, to say the least.
Watching a second time! Yum... would you do a video about your favorite flour especially if you use organic or sprouted wheat, if that's good for cakes and cookies? ❤❤❤
This is my dad’s favorite cake but he likes chocolate fudge frosting under the coconut frosting.
Winter tip: use the hairdryer in warm/hot setting to keep the butter at the needed temperature. If it starts to harden apply a little heat and if it is too much just stop. Regulate as needed.
On the website it says you need brown sugar for the frosting but in the video you don’t use it at all… 😅 what is it?!?
It was for his friend so maybe they have a preference. But brown sugar is life!! Lol
Oooo woww
