The Origin of German Chocolate Sheet Cake

The cakes called German Chocolate Sheet Cake are named after their father Samuel German, who is an American baker and not a German native. It was invented in the United States; it was also as well named after him. Samuel German, an American baker, invented it in 1852 to make the so-called Baker’s chocolate. A Texas homemaker first published a recipe for original German Chocolate Cake in 1957 in a local newspaper which described it as a fudgy chocolate cake topped with coconut-pecan frosting. Hence, this innovative sheet cake adaptation streamlines the traditional dessert for ease of making and serving yet still retaining its delicious taste.
