This Cake Is as Old as Helvetica!

With a name like German Chocolate Cake, you would think this dessert was cooked up in some Bavarian kitchen, but the recipe was first published in a Texas newspaper in 1958.

The dessert is named after the man who invented this particular kind of sweet chocolate for Baker's Chocolate: Sam German.

We no longer know the name of the original recipe writer.

For more on this topic and recipes, read "German chocolate: It's more than just a cake" in the Baltimore Sun.
