Keep in mind it is "German" as in "german's (brand of) chocolate.

Using a different chocolate would inevitably give you a different color and flavor. None of which likely would be bad.

Dude, are you the owner? Jenny Cakes is the worst cake I've ever eaten. I live nearby and love cake so I keep trying it, but i am always so disappointed. Thor yellow cake has the taste and consistency of cornbread.

A friend convinced me to get one, and I didn't like it at all. De gustibus!


I have had two cakes from there. One was delicious. The other tasted like it had cough syrup dumped on it.

This sounds delicious (and the imagery is lovely). Would you mind sharing the recipe?

The Amish Market in Annapolis has one that I think is prety traditional, so maybe look for an Amish market near you.
