The name German chocolate cake is a little deceiving as it is not actually a German dessert and traditionally the cake is a lighter-colored cake with a mild chocolate taste and the entire cake is usually covered in coconut pecan frosting.
Coconut has always been a favorite of mine with a combination of chocolate and pecans, it's totally scrumptious.
The only difference here will be this isn't made from scratch, I used a mix, and being a full-time manager I am away from home so much I wanted my favorite cake fast and easy.
You may also like to try our German Chocolate Coconut Bars (really a brownie topped with this yummy gooey frosting!) also totally divine!
I couldn't scrimp or cut corners on my favorite part, the decadent German coconut pecan frosting, but it takes just a few minutes to make and so worth it!
