German Chocolate Cake

Ah yes, German chocolate cake; one of the best desserts I've ever made! This German chocolate cake recipe has a nice thick frosting filled and topped with coconut and pecans and made to perfection! It's just the right level of sweetness too, so as to not comatose you immediately after devouring a slice. Don't forget the cherry on top and you've now made an awesome dessert! So good!
