German Chocolate Cake
German Chocolate Cake is a classic tender layer cake made with melted German sweet chocolate, buttermilk, whipped egg whites, and a light cake-flour crumb. The batter bakes into soft chocolate layers ready for the traditional coconut-pecan frosting.
Melt the German sweet chocolate in the boiling water, stir smooth, and let it cool.
Cream the margarine and sugar until light, then beat in the egg yolks one at a time.
Blend in the cooled chocolate and vanilla, then add the cake flour alternately with the buttermilk mixed with baking soda.
Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites and salt until no white streaks remain.
Spread in prepared layer pans or a rectangular pan and bake at 350 F for 35 to 40 minutes, until the center springs back.
