He baked a German chocolate cake, but when I researched it, I discovered it's actually an American dessert. German chocolate gets its name from a man named Sam German (who was American). Interesting, right? ;) (But I do love me some German chocolate cake!!)Katie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733849582309631730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-30801682531029044382014-12-05T17:54:10.020-05:002014-12-05T17:54:10.020-05:00Butter cake?
