  1. I grew up eating German Chocolate Upside Down cake. This is NOT IT. I can't even call this German Chocolate frosting. The instructions are incomplete, the brown sugar did not dissolve and it candied in the bottom of the pan. Now I have a hard mass, instead of frosting, below the cake. I'll have to remake the cake now, certainly using a better recipe. So frustrating.
     
  2. Delicious. This is a keeper.
