It's not just the premium chocolate or the pecans or moist coconut but their perfect melding in this supreme cake.  I really love this one because it oozes with yumminous. How did this cake get its name when coconut has no origin in the Deutschland.  Rather it refers to Samuel German, an English immigrant and employee of the Walter Baker & Company of Dorchester, Massachusetts. Before German’s arrival, Baker only offered an unsweetened bar chocolate. In 1852, German formulated a dark baking chocolate containing sugar, a larger amount than modern semisweet chocolate, which assumed the name “German’s Sweet chocolate” or simply, with the apostrophe dropped, “German chocolate.”
