11 June - National German Chocolate Cake Day in USA
Not only is this cake traditionally made with a sweet chocolate, it also has a distinct icing. Instead of having a traditional buttercream or meringue, the icing is representative of a custard. The base is made of egg yolks & evaporated milk and should always contain pecans & coconut.
Its roots can be traced back to 1852 when American baker Samuel German developed a type of dark baking chocolate for the Baker's Chocolate Company. The brand name of the product, Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate, was named in his honor.
The recipe was so popular that German's Chocolate sales shot up 73 percent in one year. Newspapers across the country reprinted the recipe. But somewhere along the way, German's Chocolate Cake lost its apostrophe-s, leaving Germany holding the credit for a classic American dessert.
