 German Chocolate Cake is my mom’s favorite type of cake. My grandma has been making that cake and using this frosting recipe for years.

This frosting will blow your mind with its rich and nutty flavor and wonderful texture! I have used this recipe for a variety of recipes on the blog, like these German Chocolate Cookies, but figured it was high time we gave this outstanding frosting its one post and let it shine in the spotlight ;)

If you have not tried this recipe yet, DEFINITELY give it a try! You will NOT regret it!
