German Chocolate Cake
Image Credit: Click on Image
German chocolate cake was invented in Texas. The “German” part of German chocolate cake comes from an American man—not a European country. Specifically, it’s named after Sam German, who in 1852 created the formula for a mild dark baking chocolate bar for Baker’s Chocolate Company, which was subsequently named Baker’s German’s Sweet Chocolate. Fast-forward to June 13, 1957. The Dallas Morning Star published the recipe for the cake, invented and submitted by a reader identified as Mrs. George Clay, according to What’s Cooking America.
Linking up with a bunch of fantastic peeps from the blogosphere who host Wordless Wednesday – Betty, Steve, image-in-ing, Keith, Senior Salon, Esme Salon, CatSynth, and Suzana.
I’m German and did not know that German chocolate cake was invented in Texas. Fascinating! And it’s delicious. Happy Wednesday, Sandee, and thanks for hosting this link party. 🙂
I didn’t know this either. I always thought it came from Germany. Happy WW and rest of the week, Debbie. Big hug. 🙂
Well, Ms Sandee, that photo says other things to us….was that intentional? Love your posts, merci. I always click on “save my name, email and website”. But they are not saved. No problem, just wanted to pass that on. Have a positive Wednesday.

I would love a slice, Keith. I love sweets far too much. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
Yummmy chocolate is my weakness
We awoke to 2″ of snow it was dry and fluffy so we were able to sweep it off no shovel required.
It is gonna be only mid 20’s today so we didn’t want it to freeze. OMDs my daughter and son in law and kitties live on the coast of NC . Snow there is RARE…they had 5.5″ over night. Hardly any snow removal equipment there so they are working from home
Hugs Cecilia
It’s my weakness too. I saw that unusual weather you and your family are having. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, my friend. Love and hugs. 🙂
We love this cake! And it`s over all borders popular, I believe. Baking connect 😉

greetings by Heidrun wishing a sweet week
We love it too. Chocolate and the frosting is wonderful. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
Interesting info. I had no idea.

I lived there once but never had a cake like that!
It’s a really good cake. The frosting makes it so very good. 🙂
Not a big chocoholic and THAT’s about the only chocolate cake I really enjoy. Now I know it’s not because of my German heritage, but because of my love for all things Texan!🤠Yee-haw!!!
It is a very good cake. I think I’ll make one soon. I love Texas too. 🙂
It’s fun to look up the history of foods.
I pray you and Mr. Zane have a fabulous week, scritches to Lil’ Bit and Squeaker.
Many of it is not even close to what we thought. Love and hugs, my friend. Stay safe. 🙂
What a clever image of the state of Texas!!! We learned something new today – always thought it was of German origin.
Woos – Misty and Timber
I thought the same thing. I’m happy I know the truth. Scritches to the pups and a big hug to you. 🙂

German Chocolate Cake is my oldest son’s favorite. 🙂
It’s a favorite of mine too. Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
I never knew the interesting history behind it. It’s amazing how something so delicious can have such a unique origin story. Thanks for sharing this sweet slice of trivia! 😊
I was very surprised by this fact. Happy day and rest of the week, Veronica. 🙂
Sounds fascinating 😀
I think so too, Kinga. 🙂
In TX? That is really neat. I had no clue.
I didn’t either, Pam. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Happy Friday Sandee! Thank you for adding our link, we really appreciate it! And OMG we love chocolate cake, and today’s story – purrfection!!!! 🐾🐾
We are on the same page about chocolate. We love chocolate here too. Love and hugs to you and scritches to all the kitties. 🙂
Interesting tidbit of information, but all I could get out of dad was a drooling “Mmmmmmmm, German Chocolate Cake…”
I drooled too. It’s one of my favorite cakes. Happy day and week. 🙂
German chocolate cake was my late FIL’s favorite. Every time I see a recipe or a box mix I think of him. Personally, I prefer a more intense chocolate cake which is difficult to come by unless you make it. Lately, I’ve made two batches of classic crinkle cookies which is an excellent substitute. The fudgey chocolate goodness hits the spot right on!
I want some of those cookies. We don’t bake cakes anymore. Too much sweets to eat. Love and hugs. 🙂
mmm German Chocolate Cake is a favorite of mine, too. 🙂
I think I’ve been missing your posts, because I don’t get many email notices any more for some reason. I’ll try to keep finding them, though. 🙂
I’m sorry you’re having issues with my posts. Things come and go here too. Happy week. 🙂
