GERMAN WHITE CHOCOLATE CAKE
This is an elegant-looking cake and one bite will have you sold! Please use the very best white chocolate that you can find.This is a cake that has to "stand alone" on the merits of the white chocolate, so if you're going to use the cheaper stuff, please pass this cake up. If you can find the clear vanilla, it's really worth it. I didn't list it but it really makes a difference. It's sometimes hard to find,but it won't do any harm using the regular. This was in Mass Recipes.
