German Chocolate Spice Cake

German Chocolate Spice Cake

It could have been anything I clicked on while surfin’ the ‘net that led me to this fabulous cake recipe. What caught my eye is how different it is: grated chocolate and separated eggs. Folding beaten egg whites to the batter is the last step.

The cake has a nice subtle kick from the 3 spices. Because I only grated half of the chocolate bar (I ground the other half in a blender), little bitty chunks were here and there.

I used the leftover Sugar in the Raw/Turbinado Sugar from the Big Soft Ginger Cookies recipe, which came out to be 1/4 cup. I can’t wait to use a full cup the next time I make this.
