1 Teaspoon cinnamon

For the frosting

200 chocolate coating
120 g Butter

1. Beat sugar and butter foamaly. Give the eggs after and after to it. This cream must be very foamy. Now give Eggnogg and Rum to it.

2. Mix the flour, baking powder, Kaba, nuts and cinnamon and lift it among the eggcream. Put it in a baking pan and bake it on 175°C about 50-60 Min.

Jennyema, I had the same question about baking powder. I really want to make that recipe!!!

Also would you assume that "Sahnesteif" the same as cream of tartar?

15 gm is 3.26 tsp. (approx. 3¼)

But remember:

The German Cakes are not so sweet. If you like it more sweetend, you must give more sugar in the creme/cake...!!!!

 

[texasgirl]

And the chocolate drink could be like Nestles Quick? That's a kids chocolate drink with sugar, right?

Hi,


perhaps I can help you.

What especially you are searching for a German Cake recipe??

Will it be a Cake with chocolate bisquit and whipped chocalate cream??

Or are you on search for a dry cake with powder sugar frosting?

Or can it be an ice-cream-chocolate cake??

Are you interested, please send me a Shortmessage...

Those all sound good. I was looking for the traditional american type cake. A good cake recipe with the coconut goo for frosting. It is hubby's favorite and I'm always looking for a variety or different way to make it so it isn't the same thing every year. Anything you have would be great!

Thanks!

"GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE" isn't German


German chocolate cake is an American invention which is called that because it originally used a particular brand of baking chocolate: Baker's German's Chocolate. That type of chocolate was invented by an employee of the baker Chocolate Factory (which is right around the corner from my house) named Sam German. He was from Texas, I think.

It's called german chocolate cake because of old Sam german, not because it had anything to do with the country of Germany.

To make a traditional german chocolate cake you need to use a particular type of chocolate -- Baker's German's or an equivalent. That's what made it distictive. Otherwise it will be your basic chocolate cake.

Baker's German's comes in a green box with a picture of German Chocolate cake on it.

That is actually a great background. Hubby would really like to know about it so I'm going to write that up for him!

Sounds like I need to go buy that chocolate and follow the recipe. MMMMM.....

ok ladies - I went and got the green german baking chocolate and made the cake and holy cow! It was sooooo sweet and I love rich things. It wasn't rich but just super sweet. Hubby loved it though and I can't eat anymore of it because of the sweetness. I've been taking pieces into my coworkers and they love it.


Thanks for the help!

Anyone know of a great bakery in California that makes a German Choc cake? ALthough I love home made, one can't always find the time.

I've tried some local smaller markets, but haven't had much success.

Thanks much.

mrsdove, when you said green german baking chocolate it threw me for a loop. I was trying to think of what does green have to do with baking chocolate? Then I realized you were talking about the box!! I am glad that you cake turned out well.
