On the 12th day of Christmas my kitchen gave to me, German Chocolate Cake!
Note: This post is NOT a recipe for German Chocolate Cake, but actually a recipe on how to keep Christ in Christmas. My Grandma started this around 25 years ago (maybe more...I don't know) and the tradition has carried on through her grand-children and now her great-grandchildren. Basically she makes a German Chocolate Cake with the coconut frosting to make it look like straw. When we all gather for Christmas, she takes all the little kids and they help her tell the story of Jesus' birth using nativity scene pieces for the characters in the story and the cake as the stable. After the cake is fully decorated, we light a BIG candle (because Jesus is the Light of the world) and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus!
Merry Christmas Everyone!
