German Chocolate (5 Comments)

Filed under: In the Kitchen — The Spider Herself @ 11:54 am

I recently made a German Chocolate cake from scratch for a certain Somebody’s birthday.

German Chocolate Cake 1

It took a bit of effort but I thought it turned out pretty well.

German Chocolate Cake 2

(See the all important Chinese Chili Sauce in the background? It has permanent residency on the table but not on the cake.)

The important person liked the cake. And The Boy thought it was great. The Girls, on the other hand, didn’t like the “frosting”. Coconut and pecans swimming in sweetness doesn’t appeal to them. As with most of the dinners I fix, I have found that you can’t please everybody so I don’t even try anymore. In this case, there wasn’t much sadness about it- in fact there was some joy as it meant more for the ones of us who liked it.

  2. If he’s 45, that makes me … egad, I’m not thinking about that anymore.

    Many happy reruns!

    And what a lovely, delectable-looking cake.
