    Hands down, the absolute best cake I've ever made...and I followed it EXACTLY as the recipe reads EXCEPT (I wish I could make this part bold...THIS EASILY MAKES A 3 LAYER CAKE. Make sure you usecake flour for a more tender cake.

    2 friends and myself ate about a quarter of the cake, and I planned to take it to work with me the next day, since I don't eat a lot of sweets and my brother had refused to try it because he isn't really a fan of chocolate. Well, at 3 am, I got a text message from my brother forbidding me from taking the cake with me to work.

    Before I made this cake, I read one review that said the cake dripped all over the oven while it baked. But I decided to try this recipe anyway. I followed the directions exactly, poured the batter into two 9-inch round cake pans, and set them to bake for 30 minutes. After about 10 minutes I checked on them and noticed that the batter had risen and was overflowing from the pans, dripping to the bottom of my oven and burning. I rearranged the racks in my oven and put a cookie sheet in to catch the drips. After baking for 40 minutes, I took the cakes out and let them cool. When I took them out of the pan, they fell apart a little. They also split when I gently put the cooled coconut-pecan mixture on them. Cutting slices was near impossible as the cake just fell apart upon contact. Don't get me wrong, this cake is delicious. I made it for my dad and he loved it. But, you might consider splitting the batter into 3-4 pans rather than the 2 suggested by the recipe.

    The recipe was easy. It was long to prepare, but it was easy to do. I could stand a little bit more chocolate flavoring in the cake but other than that, really great cake!

    This is the most delicious German Chocolate Cake I have ever made. In the past I have had trouble with cakes made from sratch, but this one is perfect! Made it for my dad's birthday. The filling was rich and delicious. Amazing that there was enough left to put on the cake :

    Delicious! The cake was moist, the filling was incredibly rich, and the fudgy frosting (the Throwdown Cookbook has a suggested recipe gave it a great balance. I'm guessing the reviewers who ended up with too much batter were using 8-inch cake pans. The recipe calls for 9-inch round pans, and I had the perfect amount of batter for the two pans.
