This is the best German Chocolate Cake recipe on the web!!Prep: 30 min; Bake: 40 min; Cool: 1 hr 10 min This cake is named after Samuel German, who invented the sweet chocolate bar that is used to make it. It’s a classic recipe that has been a favorite for almost fifty years. It is important that your beaters are clean and dry so nothing interferes with your egg whites whipping up nice and high. _ ounces sweet baking chocolate ___ cup water _ cups sugar _ cup butter or stick margarine, softened _ large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract _ 1/4 cups all-purpose flour or 2 1/2 cups cake flour _ teaspoon baking soda _ teaspoon salt _ cup buttermilk Coconut-Pecan Filling and Topping (see recipe) if desired 1. Heat oven to 350°. Grease bottom and side of 3 round pans, 8 X 1 1/2 or 9 X 1 1/2 inches, with shortening. Line bottoms of pans with waxed paper or cooking parchment paper. 2. Heat chocolate and water in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, until chocolate is completely melted; cool. 3. Beat sugar and butter in medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Separate eggs; reserve egg whites. Beat egg yolks, one at a time, into sugar mixture. Beat in chocolate and vanilla on low speed. Mix flour, baking soda and salt. Beat flour mixture into sugar mixture alternately with buttermilk on low speed, beating just until smooth after each addition. 4. Using clean beaters, beat eggs whites on high speed until stiff; fold into batter. Pour into pans. Refrigerate batter in third pan if not all pans will fit in oven at one time; bake third pan separately. 5. Bake 8-inch rounds 35 to 40 minutes, 9-inch rounds 30 to 35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire rack. Remove waxed paper.
