I have made this cake quite a few times, and everyone in my family really likes it...from my husband, down to our 3 year old. German chocolate cake is my favorite cake, and this version is a lot quicker than traditional German chocolate. It has always turned out quite moist for me. Perhaps taztpoodle baked it too long? Definately worth trying if you are a German chocolate fan!!:)

I had wanted to make this for quite some time. I made it for dinner guests & was very disappointed. It turned out to be very dry; nothing like the real German Chocolate Cake.
