S06:É26 - S06:E26 - German Chocolate Cake

German chocolate cake filled with sticky pecans and coconut, and left au naturel on the sides is not without flaws. The filling can be sticky, sodden, and excessively sweet, and the cake itself is often weak on chocolate flavor. We set out to develop a German chocolate cake that avoids these pitfalls and delivers on its promise.
