I'm new to blogging, and finally feel like a 'girl that belongs', after finding this place. AndI don't feel like that nerdy kid, who is always reading a cookbook....lol! Thanks for any comments as to how to comment, and be patient while I set up my blog, please? At 12 I taught myself to bake, and I've been covered with flour, and/or sugar the rest of my life!jocakegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06869190375996346013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-49597968640974781952009-09-29T11:37:16.357-07:002009-09-29T11:37:16.357-07:00I tried rose's German Chocolate Baby Grand cup...I tried rose's German Chocolate Baby Grand cupcakes (same cake base as this recipe)... they were absolutely delish.

I agree with the ...Ohhh another good looking cake! I agree with the other commenters...I like traditional German chocolate cake well enough (because, hello, chocolate and coconut), but I never liked that pale brown-gray color (is that taupe?) of the cake. I thought "German chocolate" was synonymous with that unappetizing shade. Of course, now I know better and am happy to learn that the people of Germany don't suffer with unattractive chocolate.<br /><br />Thanks for including the weights in the recipe. I find I am baking more and more by weight, and doing the conversions by hand can get tiresome. Oh, and thanks for all the great pictures Jim; illustrating the intermediate steps is really helpful for me.<br /><br />Oh, and this faithful reader would never "I told you so" about the second helping, especially when you were simply trying to save your friends from the bitter disappointment of a scorched chocolate cake. Nearly noble, I would say...<br /><br />(hope your oral argument went well)<br /><br />Chris in RIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-26050466667238850662009-09-17T17:43:20.982-07:002009-09-17T17:43:20.982-07:00Jini,

I'm sure there would be some people who'd say the original is the way to go, but I consider this the new and improved version.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-88341323866205547752009-09-16T20:49:29.650-07:002009-09-16T20:49:29.650-07:00well, if you and melinda bake this cake together i...well, if you and melinda bake this cake together i want to be the first to volunteer as taster. :)<br />i have always loved the insipid german chocolate cakes, but this one sounds even better. all that yummy goop surrounding a very chocolatey cake sounds lovely.jinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13274997124184312649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-38947926068567555572009-09-16T15:49:13.124-07:002009-09-16T15:49:13.124-07:00Amy,

It was only one little weekend in Detroit.<br /><br />Oriana,<br />Jim took a lot of pictures of the cake, and was disappointed in how most of them turned out, but I think at least one of them shows its mouth-watering potential.<br /><br />Julie,<br />Hmmm. Maybe I've been gone longer than I thought.<br /><br />Melinda,<br />I'm with you. What's the point of insipid chocolate? This cake is easy-peasy (to quote a certain person). I still have a list of about 10 cakes that make me break into a sweat when I think about them. They'll probably be the last ones I make. If you come to Minnesota, you can help me.<br /><br />Hector,<br />Oh, it's real all right. The only thing that scared me about this cake is that Woody told me it was idiot-proof. I thought that was a sure harbinger of doom, but it actually was idiot-proof.<br /><br />Jeannette,<br />You should be getting it soon. I'm excited for you to be able to start baking from it.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-64171437639178760142009-09-16T14:20:58.048-07:002009-09-16T14:20:58.048-07:00I hope I can do as good a job of making these cake...I hope I can do as good a job of making these cakes as you have done, Marie!
