Speaking of Valentine's Day!

A Really Sweet Treat!

German Chocolate Upside-Down Surprise Cake!

I know you've heard me mention our beloved Opal!
Well, Opal gave me the BEST cookbook for Christmas
"Betty's Country Cooking with Southern Grace" 
and I found this cake recipe, and knowing that my daddy
Loves German Chocolate Cake, I had to try it!
Oh, my goodness! 
Serve it warm,
 everyone loved it! 
Even Daddy Money, who doesn't really love sweets
 had some with his after Sunday Dinner coffee!
He even took a piece home for
his dessert with his supper plate!
Now, you KNOW it's good when he takes dessert home!
Amy rarely eats dessert or at least a very small piece,
trying to be good with those calories... she had a second little piece! 
She suggested we make this for Pop next September for his 92nd Birthday!
I will!

Sharing the recipe:

German Chocolate Upside Down Surprise Cake
