German Chocolate Cake

...from scratch, of course.

German chocolate cake is my husband's favorite and I had to make it for his birthday this past week.

The cake turned out pretty awesome!  Instead of the rum sauce, I substituted some pineapple orange juice I had in the fridge.  I remember that my grandma in Russia always poured a little bit of a dilluted jam mixture on the cakes before stacking them and that kept them very moist even after being in the fridge.  It's a great trick.  The only thing we were not super happy with is the chocolate frosting.  It turned out exactly as it should, but it was just VERY chocolate-y.  Too much for our taste.  Next time I think I will lighten it up with maybe a chocolate cream cheese frosting.  We'll see how that works out.

Good luck!
