German Chocolate Cake - 12/08/19 02:19 PM
This was my first attempt at making this cake recipe. It was my mothers recipe that she always made for me on my birthday. I did not realize how much went into making it from scratch. She would double the frosting recipe so I did the same. It took all of it to cover the cake, so it was a good thing I did.
