I just made this for my husband and I have never liked German chocolate cake but THIS!? I fell in love. First off I used my cheaper cake pans ( because I had three of them) and I spooned the thick batter so that edges were rounded up and every layer came out perfect. Very much like red velvet cake! I was AMAZED!!! I only used one batch of frosting ( Wich was not as thick as yours) but came out WONDERFULLY. Had more than enough frosting! This cake! Took the CAKE! LOL😁🙏😁💜💜💜💜🧡🧡🧡🧡💜🥰I've told you before and I will tell you again, I come to you because you tell everything!!!! and so the recipe is dependable.

This was the exact recipe my Nana gave to my mom when she married my dad and said, "This is what he gets on his birthday." Cut to my birthday cakes years later and this is always what I wanted too. It's our "standard" birthday cake and always gets a "wow" from anyone who hasn't had it before. Thanks for sharing what has (felt like) a special secret baking recipe that I always wanted to share with the world.

I love your videos, just finished watching 4 or 5 of them to get good baking tips. I love that you don't completely cut out your mishaps, its what we all do! Your directions are clear and concise. Took notes and will be trying some of your recipes soon. I look forward to looking at more from you!!!!!

He's such a cooking nerd, I love that passion.

As an okay cook I struggled with this recipe so much but the end result was so worth it. Not doing it again any time soon, but I enjoyed it so much

I made this cake for my father’s birthday yesterday and it was absolutely delicious. The coconut-pecan frosting is so yummy; I almost didn’t put it on the cake and eat it by the spoonful...lol German Chocolate cake is his favorite and I will be making like this for now on, thank you!

I will try your recipe. I have loved this cake since I was a kid in the 1960s. My mother used to make it for my dad on his birthday and sometimes on Father's Day. Its the gooey coconut and almond filling I love the best. Sometimes my mother would frost the outside with a rich fudge like frosting. Roses deli in Portland, Oregon used to make a four layer cake at their restaurant. Now some other bakery makes it and its not as good. When I make my version I toast the coconut a bit to give it a different taste and texture. While I was watching you stir in the pecans and coconut I remember a cookie from my childhood that I haven't had in a long time. Its called a no-bake chocolate cookie with coconut and peanut butter. They are easy to make. You start off with a lot of white sugar and a bit of water to make a sugar syrup and then you take the sugar syrup off the heat and add milk, peanut butter, coconut (or nuts) and spoon it on to wax paper. The key is work quickly so the cookies mixture doesn't firm up. The other important thing is that the sugar syrup needs to boil for exactly 1 minute so you don't have a granular taste to it and that the cookie will set up properly. My mother found the recipe in some magazine back in the 1950s. Give it a try!

I was asked to make several mini desserts for an engagement party (which ended up being a wedding). I decided to make mini cupcakes with this recipe. This was my first time making German chocolate cake, but thanks to your recipe and video, they came out amazing! Thank you for sharing your talents with us!!

I’ve seen your strawberry frosting video and this is my second one to date. I love you. I’m making a German chocolate cake TODAY and I believe this is going to turn out outstanding!

I really love your peppy energy and your genuine love of food. You, sir, have just earned a subscriber.

I’m a baker and I spent an afternoon making this fabulous cake. It was so worth the time and effort. I used the strips for the first time and my layers sunk in the middle, but because I live in a high altitude, that sometimes happens. My mom said it was one of the best cakes she had ever had. Not the best German chocolate cake she ever had, but one of the BEST cakes she ever tasted. I left it on the counter in my cake dome and for the short time it stayed there, each slice was just as moist as the first day I made it. Delicious!!

I’ve made this twice now. My family raves over this cake. Thanks for the recipe and making me look good lol

I grew up watching my mom make German Chocolate cakes ( and yes I’d sneak nibbles off the bar of what back then ( mid-50’s to early 60’s) was actually a bitter chocolate! ) but she would not only put a thick layer of frosting between the layers but she frosted the entire cake!! Talk about heaven 🥰😍

I love Baker's Joy. It is such a timesaver and it is less messy than tthe old butter and flour routine.
