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!
