German Chocolate Cupcakes
Contrary to popular belief, German chocolate cake did not originate in Germany. Its roots can be traced back to 1852 when American Samuel German developed a type of dark baking chocolate for the American Baker's Chocolate Company. The brand name of the product, Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate, was named in honor of him. German's chocolate cake, is a layered chocolate cake from the US filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. This version uses cocoa powder and is made into cupcakes.
