Usually I setup to bake and someone is bringing a chair over to the counter to "help mommy", this particular day, little Griff was super excited to get to baking, however it only lasted for a few minutes and then he wanted to drink the vanilla, so we had to put a kibosh to that, lol.
I first made this recipe for my husbands dad's birthday last summer. German Chocolate cake just so happens to be his favorite cake and I was up for the challenge. Having never made one before I just went for it & this recipe did not disappoint at all. It was all gone and quick. It's super easy, If I could do it, you can do it, I promise. I am by no means a cake decorator so you will see snap shots of the finished product. So for your next celebration or "just because" party whip up this cake to enjoy. Give your self enough time though. The coconut frosting needs to have time to completely cool as well as the cake itself.
