June 11th is National "German Chocolate Cake Day"!
Fun Fact! Not named for the country Germany! In 1852, a baker named Samuel German invented a a new type of dark baking chocolate for "Baker's Chocolate Company. In 1957, Mrs. George Clay of... ahem, Dallas Texas... created "German's Chocolate Cake" in honor of him, and published the recipe in the paper "The Dallas Morning News". The recipe soon took off nation wide, and as the recipe spread from paper to paper, as a result, increased Baker's sales by 73%. But as the recipe spread from paper to paper, the "S" was just as quickly dropped, and as a further result, we all, me included, wrongly assumed it was named for Germany the country. Which I admit, I always found weird because what is so "German" about this cake. NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Except the man it was named for, Samuel German.
