Cook's Country: German Chocolate Cake

I am really enjoying testing recipes for Cook's Country magazine. In fact I love it so much that I jumped at the opportunity when Cook's Illustrated was looking for reviewers. It's a perfect chance to practice a new dish, learn new foods, and get out and make something you don't always make.

This recipe was for German Chocolate Cake. German Chocolate Cake can be very high in calories but this recipe takes just a couple of items, does a substitution, and the cake comes out a light chocolate flavor with a very tasty frosting. A frosting not too overly sweet. I really enjoyed this recipe and I think I will sneak that frosting recipe into some additional desserts.

I made this and took half to work and gave half to my dad. It also stored well in the refrigerator even after frosting. Good to know for a future need.

Watch for a future issue of Cook's Country magazine to get this recipe. Worth making again!
