: Does any one know were german chocolate cake originated none of my professional publications had a recipe. I figure it must be betty crocker or something like that.

German Chocolate Cake is an American creation. According to Steve Sax in Classic Home Desserts:
"It was not brought (as is sometimes reported) to the American Midwest by German immigrants. The "German" in the name refers to German's sweet chocolate, named for Englishman Sam German, and now made by Baker's Chocolate. The cake was first popular in either Texas or Oklahoma. After the recipe was published by a Dallas newspaper in 1957, German Chocolate cake swept the country." It's a little long-winded but I hope it was what you were looking for.
