"Every February, when Garth's birthday rolls around, I make this beautiful and delicious cake for him. Last fall, he made some sad statement like, 'Only three more months until you make me that awesome German chocolate cake again!' I made the cake the next day. (I know, I'm a sucker). I double the frosting recipe to frost the entire cake, because my husband likes extra frosting, but one recipe will frost the tops of the layers and do the trick just fine -- unless you're Garth, of course! If you have some left over, the frosting is also good spread on a Graham Cracker or on brownies. Okay, it's also good right off a spoon!"
