[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know where I can buy a real old fashioned German Chocolate Cake?  All the ones I've seen in stores in Northern Virginia have dark fudgy chocolate cake and I believe the cake is supposed to be a lighter color and have a slight coffee flavor, not so chocolatey. I believe the recipe calls for buttermilk too.  I can't find one like that.[/quote]

Have you tried Heidelberg bakery in Arlington? They are a German bakery. [/quote]

German chocolate cake is named after a person. [/quote]

It's named after a brand of baking chocolate. [/quote]

German's® Sweet Chocolate is a dark baking chocolate created by the Walter Baker & Company employee, Samuel German (hence the name), who developed the chocolate in 1852. He thought this type of chocolate would be convenient for bakers as the sugar is already added to it. It is sweeter than semi-sweet chocolate and contains a blend of chocolate liquor, sugar, cocoa butter, flavorings, and lecithin. Baker's® sells this chocolate which can be found on the baking isle of most grocery stores.
The most famous recipe containing German's® Sweet Chocolate is German Chocolate Cake (recipe here). This cake is very rich and consists of three layers of moist chocolate cake with a rich, sweet, gooey caramel flavored frosting, laced with coconut and pecans, in between. A German Chocolate Cake leaves its sides bare, so we can see both the frosting and the layers of chocolate cake.
