"A German chocolate cookie cake served with a cup of coffee. Great for dessert. Hey, it's chocolate. It's great anytime. The secret ingredient is the Palmin which is coconut fat. You can get it at a European Deli or buy it online. Google Palmin Coconut Fat in your search engine or try germandeli.com in Texas or scanspecialties.com in Seattle. You can substitute 3 sticks of butter, so I'm told. I haven't tried that yet. I make mine for the Christmas holidays. You don't have to worry about leftovers. This stuff magically disappears. Remember to leave some on a plate for Santa."
