Tiny little pieces. I would devour the whole thing! I am making this for my husbands 60th birthday this year! Thank you Steven for keeping up with your Mom channel! I MISS HER!🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🍫🎂🎂🎂🎂🍫🍫🍫🍫
1950 CLASSIC.. THANK PHYLLIS .. a great inspiration for the new generation.. and SO THE legends live on... never fix what was never broken.. RIP.. great ONE. THANK you.
I sure miss this sweet lady. Don’t forget to beat those room temp eggs!! Bless this lady’s memory.
Rest In Peace Phyllis. 🙏🏾 You taught me how to make the best cakes, pies and breads that I’ve ever tasted. UA-cam won’t be the same without you, what a light you shined onto the world with your gift of love and culinary excellence. Thanks for everything. My deepest condolences and prayers go out to the Stokes family and friends at this very difficult time. She suffers no more, and is in heaven with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Until we see her again, may she rest in eternal peace. ✝️💟☮️
😢
I didn't know she is with our Lord & Savior!!!
I refer back to the German chocolate sheet cake very often!!!
@@shelialaury1538 I do too! I’ll be back in a week to make one for Easter. I love this woman so much. This is my go-to page for classic southern recipes from the 1950’s. On UA-cam, she was literally one in a billion. She passed in January 25, 2020. She lasted about nine months after her beloved husband, Mr. Bucky, passed. 🙏🏾✝️💜
Awww
I sure didn't know. So she was probably already gone when I 1st found the German Chocolate sheet cake recipe!!!
Thanks for info!!!
I wonder how deep was that pan
You are so right. I miss her and her wonderful videos.
I AM A BAKER, AND WHEN I TELL YOU THIS LADY IS ON POINT!!!! THAT CAKE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE MY CAKES! AND IT IS SUPER MOIST!!! FOLLOW HER INSTRUCTIONS, SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING!
Could she have used the stand mixer for the flour, butter and buttermilk part. But still fold in the egg whites.
@@roxanne1092 I do. It'll be fine 🙂
You make the cake
@@edithgarner-gross2050 I DID 😘
Thank you for everything you shared with us. We miss you already! Thank you Stephen for keeping her videos up. May God bless you and just know your mama and Bucky is at the feet of Their Savior. 🙏🏻💖🙏🏻
I made this today. Delicious! So easy because of Phyllis directions. The egg whites just as she directed does make a difference. I always loved watching her when she lived ❤️. She's inspiring even in death. RIP sweet Lady!! Thank You her Son for keeping your Mom's wonderful recipes circulating!! ❤️
I miss you, Miss Phyllis. I find myself watching your videos quite often. I learned a lot from you about making cakes. Bless you and Mr. Bucky in the afterlife. 🙂♥️
This is the first video of yours i could watch since your untimely passing Miss Phyllis ...Im crying, I miss you....you were and always will be the sweetest Southern Belle I ever knew...I send you my love and please ....save a chair at your dinner table and Ill bring this cake for dessert! Missing you in California....your buddy Tamara.,,miss and love you..
It was created by Mrs. George Clay, a homemaker from Dallas, Texas; it appeared on June 3, 1957, as the "Recipe of the Day" in The Dallas Morning News. This recipe used the baking chocolate introduced 105 years prior and became quite popular. The baker who developed the chocolate, Samuel German, was given credit even though a woman created the recipe because he worked for the company who made the chocolate. General Foods, which owned the Baker's brand at the time, took notice and distributed the cake recipe to other newspapers in the country. (reference Wikipedia)
OMG, Phyllis. My mom is 77 and in a nursing home. This is her favorite cake ever!!! I have never made it either. I will make it and bring to her. You make me so darn happy Phyllis.
This was my mother’s favorite cake. Every person in our family got German Chocolate cake for their birthday. Yummy.
On my birthday, I got to choose what I wanted for supper . . . including the cake I wanted. Yep, German Chocolate Cake was always my request. I was born in 1946, so it would follow that the ‘50s was when this cake was popular.
Hello, Stephen,
My wife and I made this German Chocolate Sheet Cake earlier this afternoon to take to the Assembly of Yahweh (7th day) communal meal tomorrow afternoon. I can’t wait to try it. I am certain that it is delicious. I am blind and really love baking. You are doing a great job. Miss Phyllis will certainly be missed.
I can't thank you enough for this video. As far back as I can remember, my Grandma made Chocolate Pie and German Chocolate Sheet Cake. I remember standing in a chair and watching her make the cake. You took me back to very good times. Thanks!
This is the real old fashioned recipe! Sure miss you and Mr. Bucky!
I miss you sooo much!!! I wanted to find an old time German chocolate cake recipe and thought... I wonder if Phyllis had one and there you were. I know you are resting peacefully. Love you and miss you!
I remember my mother baking this cake and it was (and still is) my very favorite cake!!!! ❤️❤️
I still remember the first time my mother made this cake in the mid 1950's. A few years later, I was allowed to make one on my own. I did so well that mom let me graduate from cakes and cookies. I could finally make our meals as well. You have to understand that while I watched my mom cook, when she let me start cooking, I was on my own. She always told me what to do and then went into the other room while I cooked.
We continued to get the recipe off the pkg for many years. Then one time in the late 80's or 90's, the recipe was missing!!! Thank you for sharing. I have missed it very much. I will surprise 2 of my brothers with this very soon!!!
Germann chocolate cake was developed in the 19th century in Texas by the a guy with the last name Germann who created sweetened cocoa powder. The cake was a way to utilize the cocoa powder.
Thanks for the info, I assumed it was from Germany or something der.
This is my favorite cake ever. Made it once years ago and was not pleased with how it turned out. Was my Grandfathers birthday and when i told him I had messed it up he started going through my kitchen cabinets until he found it. Needless to say he took it home, mess and all! I have not made it for over 20 years because it took so many bowls, but you solved that problem for me. It is on the horizon. I too think it is the best thing I ever tasted.
RIP soft spoken Phyllis!
Watching this gave me a childhood smell flashback of the hand mixer components warming up and releasing a sweet, warm, electric scent while my mom mixed together cakes. I adore your videos and their calm manor.
Oh how I miss you Mrs. Phyllis! You taught me so much about cooking.
Phyllis wanted to let you know I made this for my uncles birthday. He just loved it . Said it was the best german chocolate cake he has had. Thanks so much.
I ran across this:
Its roots can be traced back to 1852 when American baker Samuel German developed a type of dark baking chocolate for the Baker's Chocolate Company. The brand name of the product, Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate, was named in honor of him.[2]
On June 3, 1957, a recipe for "German's Chocolate Cake" appeared as the "Recipe of the Day" in The Dallas Morning News.[3] It was created by Mrs. George Clay, a homemaker from 3831 Academy Drive, Dallas, Texas.[3] This recipe used the baking chocolate introduced 105 years prior and became quite popular. General Foods, which owned the Baker's brand at the time, took notice and distributed the cake recipe to other newspapers in the country. Sales of Baker's Chocolate are said to have increased by as much as 73% and the cake would become a national staple. The possessive form (German's) was dropped in subsequent publications, forming the "German Chocolate Cake" identity and giving the false impression of a German origin.[4][5][2]
The recipe still remains popular to this day and has been adopted by baking companies.
June 11 is National German Chocolate Cake Day in America.[6]
Great information thanks so much for sharing it with all of us.
That’s interesting! Thanks for the info! 😊
Great info!
Dad would make German Chocolate cake every couple of months, his favorite. He made the topping the same as your recipe.
OMG!!!!! I have been looking for an original from scratch recipe for my favorite cake in the world German Chocolate. My aunt made this cake from scratch and took the recipe with her when she passed. Ms Phyllis when I say you are the best I mean the best. I made this cake twice, the first time it was delicious and rich oh my goodness, but when you say you have to follow the recipe to a tee it is just that, it was moist the first time but the second time I really paid attention to sifting the flour and folding in the beaten eggs it was so moist the second time I could barely keep it together. The icing was amazing the whole cake was simply scrumptious I ate the whole darn thing in three days with the help of my daughter. I now understand why my aunt would not allow anyone in the kitchen while she made this cake it was just that serious and it does take work she put a lot of love and care in this cake and so did you thank you from the bottom of my heart and stomach too!! :)
That is just like my Mom's except she layered hers. That looks delicious, especially with a big glass of cold milk :)
My late twin sister and I used to request German chocolate cake every year on our birthday. I still make this cake today, though I do the three layers like my Grandma did. It's my absolute favorite cake. Thank you so much for this sweet memory.
Stephen sitting here watching ur mom doing this cake took me back to all the times mr.bucky got to eat m.phillis, cooking u know he was a happy happy man she always cooked homemade things ( as far as we knew lol) she might would argue that .I wish she was here to do that don't you? Anyhow he got to eat all her good cooking WHAT LUCK.thesevideos are what I call (PRECIOUS MEMORIES) IN your case it would be of my momma.you know I just loved it when mr.bucky would give a testimony I was stuck to my phone as when I was when I watched 👀 your mom's. I loved them. Both ssoomuch. You are such a great 👍 son keep being the way u r and may our LORD RICHY BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Watching your videos makes me feel like I'm in the kitchen cooking with an old friend. I made this cake today and I must say, it was wonderful! The texture was perfect, so moist, rich and delicious. Thanks so much for sharing all of your great recipes, Phyllis.
Dear Phyllis, I made your German Chocolate cake tonight for a friend of mine. I actually made two cakes one for my friend and one for my family. And the recipe you use is perfect! It was a big hit with the family! Thank you for such a great video...you give clear & precise directions. Your video was very easy to follow. I was a cake decorator for 15 yrs and I can't believe I never made a German Chocolate cake. I normally didn't like the German cake in the box it always seemed kind of dry. But this cake was moist & super delicious. We loved it and highly recommend it!!!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos,
It just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without this cake. Thanks for everything Phyllis, say hi to Mr. Bucky for me. Until we meet in heaven, God bless you both! 🙏🏾✝️💜🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
I keep a tape measure in my purse too!...Looks yummy, German chocolate is one of my favorites!
I love your site! I couldn't trust myself with that cake. If I froze the pieces, I'd be eating them straight out of the freezer!
Michele Pohl cake-cicles!!! We need to make that happen...if cake pops can become a trend so can cake-cicles!
This lady is an angel.
Thanks Stephen for leaving these videos up, it helps when I start missing the sound of her soothing voice!
No worries!
I'm so glad that your still posting your mom's recipe, I made this German recipe and absolutely delicious recipe, she was such a beautiful woman
Delicious Phylis, we all miss you and Mr Bucky. Fantastic cook. Hugs to you both in heaven
My daughter made this cake for a birthday party, it was the best cake ever! Everyone loved it, Thank you so much for sharing. Hope all is well, take care.
I loved Phyllis Stokes when she was alive. ,and am still watching her now that she has left us, love you Phyllis ❤️
Thank you for this recipe. This was my mom's recipe, and when she passed away, I could not find the original recipe. Will be making for Thanksgiving. God Bless!
This looks amazing, Phyllis! :D It looks like the German Chocolate Cake we used to make when I was little (I am 57 years old, born in 1960). I've seen other recipes out there, but this looks like the real deal. I am going to make this cake very soon. I have so many wonderful memories associated with German Chocolate Cake. I used to request it every year for my birthday when I was in grade school. It is my most favorite cake ever. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! ;D Michelle
Miss Phyllis I love the old tyme cakes.German Chocolate cakes,Meringue pies,Pound Cakes.Chocolate chess pies Egg custards lemon ice boxed pies.you keep up the good work.You be blessed you and the family and the furry babies too.
Thank you so much , my gram used to make this, She never wrote the recipe down , now I have it , Blessings.
my husbands fav cake for his birthday from the time he was a child was German Chocolate cake made by his grandmother... he's never had one that was as good since she past years ago.. till now.. I made this & followed your advise (yes I beat egg whites stiff too) you were so so so right this is without a doubt the best cake I've ever had (I like pies much better than cake) but wow the texture, taste, smell.. everything about it works... I did make the sheet cake but I want to do the layer one soon too
one more thing... we did share with a group of people, everyone ...went mad for it too
I am now asked to "please make that addictive cake again" thank you~!
+planetjazzy Wonderful, so glad the cake was a success. If you make the cake in 3 layers use the 9" cake pans and be sure to line the bottom with wax paper so there is no issue with them coming out of the pans. I actually think making the cake in three layers is best because that way the icing makes the cake even more moist. Making in sheet cake form is really my "lazy way" of doing it plus it's much easier to freeze cutting the pieces from the pan.
Your sweet son and grandson made your German chocolate cake but they didn’t do it with this icing which is what I’ve grown up with my whole life. I sure do miss you and I miss your videos and seeing your bright shiny face every day. I miss seeing the dogs and Mr. Bucky as well. 😢💗
Oh my gosh!! I made this cake for my son-in-law's birthday today and it was beyond amazing! I'm not normally crazy about German chocolate cake, but I will be baking another one soon just for my husband and myself...it really is just that good!!!
My Mom would put the frosted cake under the broiler to toast the coconut. Mmmmm! So delicious!
omg! I wanted a piece of your cake sooo badly it looks so moist & tasty, you are an Excellent Excellent Teacher so Cool Calm & Collected love it, you give me the Confidence to give this recipe a shot THANK YOU! Peace.

Hi Phyllis! :D I made your German Chocolate Cake and Coconut Pecan Frosting today, and it was AMAZING!! Your recipe is better than I remember it growing up. The recipes/mixes and ready made frostings out there just cannot compare to old-fashioned, from scratch goodness, with a healthy sprinkle of love, of course. Thanks again! This will be my go to recipe from now on. ;D Michelle
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Mr. Bucky.
Awesome technique 🤠♥️🤠
Delicious
