This beauty was created by my friend Emily. WOW!!!! Need I say more? My hubby LOVES German Chocolate Cake (always his birthday request), so I was thrilled to find such a delicious recipe for it! It was incredible! Way to go Emily! (Emily suggested trying different nuts too- Walnuts are good, but she really likes almonds.)
