For as long as I can remember, German chocolate sheet cake has been a family favorite dessert. Every family member has a recipe box that carefully contains my grandmother’s renowned recipe, which my dad asks for on his birthday. I never gave much thought to the notion that German Chocolate Cake was, well, German, since my dad’s side of the family is really German. You can thus imagine how shocked I was to find it was untrue!
