From our Should-Check-Wikipedia-First series.
There is nothing German about German chocolate cake.
And so it happened that a friend wanted to be nice to a German and made this cake.
The result: "Was ist denn das?"
The question is just one level of politeness below "WTF is this?"
To be fair to all parties involved, there was good natured laugther, and the cake did eventually get eaten, although not without a "man, way too much sugar and fat" comment.
If you want to offer a German a familiar chocolate cake, a Sachertorte, or a Black Forest Cake will do just fine.
