TQOTD: Comfort food
Unlike what most people suppose, this cake was invented by a Texas housewife in the 1950s. Its name is derived from its chief flavoring ingredient, which in turn was named after a person. What is it?
The German Chocolate Cake. The first recipe for a German Chocolate Cake was published in 1957 in a Dallas paper. The name was originally German's Chocolate Cake, referring to German's Baking Chocolate. German's Chocolate was named after Sam German, the man who created the dark chocolate for Baker's Chocolate Company in 1852.
