Things That Make U Go Humm...

I've never given it any thought, but when someone asked yesterday why we don't see any German Chocolate Cake in Germany, I didn't have an answer. "Huh!" I replied. After some research, I discovered the cake is named after an American who developed a sweet baking bar for Baker's Chocolate Company.

Named in honor of Sam German, Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate was first sold in 1852. But it wasn't until 1957 that a Dallas newspaper published the recipe (crafted by a homemaker) for German Chocolate Cake. That gooey, sweetness sure sounds good right now - especially with a tall, cold glass of milk.
