I have not been sticking to my cupcake cookbook but that does not mean I haven't been baking! I asked my mother what my step dad might want for his birthday (baking related) and all she said was something low fat because they are trying to lose some weight. Well thanks mom that wasn't really helpful! UNTIL! I remembered that his favorite cake was German chocolate so I went on a search for a fairly easy low fat German chocolate cake recipe. I found one! Woohoo! So I woke up around 5 a.m. last Friday and got to it. The entire cake was made from scratch (usually I cheat and buy the pecan frosting). I even toasted the pecans and coconut! Take a look!
Yeah, it's a dark picture. Photography is not my thing. That's why I bake! So I'm not really a big fan of this particular cake.....well I'm just not a fan of coconut so I tend to avoid anything with it. I thought this recipe was pretty awesome even though I really didn't have anything to compare it to. My parents really enjoyed it and I even got the husband to take a bite!
And this was all that was left from the weekend. I'd say it was a success.
