German chocolate cake

I decided to make a German Chocolate Cake for my mother-in-laws birthday celebration.  She really enjoys nuts, so this seemed like a nice choice for her.  I used the recipe from The Joy of Cooking for the cake.  I learned from the recipe that the cake is not from Germany, but is actually named after the chocolate company who invented it.  I love making a three layer cake.  Something wonderful happens when there are two layers of frosting inside the cake.  Let's face it, I really like the frosting part of all cakes, and this delicious cake was no exception.  I think she enjoyed the cake and the recognition of her special day, even if it was several days early.
A few candles made the cake very festive.
