Light German Chocolate Cake image

This German chocolate cake recipe is very moist and dense. Since there is no leavening agent, the cake does not rise. But what you get is one very chocolaty cake. The frosting tastes just like a traditional German chocolate cake frosting. So good!

I'm not a big fan of nuts in my chocolate cake, so I left out the pecans.
