    8 years ago, my aunt passed, and she who was the queen of huge, layered German Chocolate Cakes. I found her partial recipe but couldn't come close. This recipe hit! If she was here, she'd wink and say, you got it, girl!
    Thank you~

    This brought tears to my eyes for so many reasons. My mother-in-law used to make German Chocolate Cake that was out of this world. She passed away 8 years ago and I can still smell her food and hear her say, "There ain't nothing to this!" when she was showing me how to cook. This tutorial really made me miss her even more!!

    Hello all. A little late to the game, but I made this cake for Thanksgiving 2022.
    I paused and played the video and made it right alongside you. Keep up the good work. I love the old-school recipes.
    I always look for videos like this when I'm trying new recipes out.
    There are 2 different types of chefs on CZcams.
    The ones that spend all their money on fancy camera equipment and none on the ingredients.
    And the real MVPs that just throw a camera up and invest in really good quality ingredients.

    I finally made this cake. Oh my goodness! This is the best cake I’ve ever made! I can’t believe how soft and fluffy the cake part is! I made a couple of mistakes, but it still worked out. My frosting got too thick in the pan, so it didn’t flow like yours did. Also, I got sweetened coconut by mistake. But it still was delicious. I think every dish in my kitchen is dirty, but it’s worth it! Thank you!

    I love how you told the history of the German chocolate cake 🍰. You are absolutely right. My grandfather was German and I lived in Germany for 3 years. Americans when visiting had to learn that concept real quick because they couldn't figure out why they couldn't find German chocolate cake in the bakeries. Germany's popular German chocolate cake is the Black Forest Cake. A type of Cherry Torte. If you never have had it you need to try it Chef Jeffery. It's my favorite German chocolate cake. It's sehr gute! (It's very good!)

      I was confused when I was younger because my step-grandparents were Texas Germans and she made German Chocolate cake. I thought it was German because she was German. It was years later that I realized it wasn’t German. But at least it is Texan-and she was a Native born Texan, so I was half right.

    My Mom used to make sour cream pound cakes which was one of her favorite cakes. She had a cook book she got in the early '80's with this recipe. The only difference was separating the yokes and egg whites. You put in the yokes as normal, but at the end before putting in the pan, whisk the egg whites to form stiff peaks and fold them in by hand. I can't remember the cake you made, but I remember you said folding in egg whites makes cakes lighter if I'm not mistaken. Great video 👍🏾
