What is cake mix, german chocolate?

German chocolate cake  is a layered chocolate cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting.Sweet baking chocolate is traditionally used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake, but few recipes call for it today.

The filling and/or topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk; once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred in.

Occasionally, a chocolate frosting is spread on the sides of the cake and piped around the circumference of the layers to hold in the filling.Maraschino cherries are an added touch.
