German Chocolate Cake with Coconut Frosting

This was my birthday cake this year, made by my daughter. I often requested German Chocolate cakes for my birthdays growing up. They were often made by my Granny or Mom. With both of them gone now my daughter has started making them. This was a delicious version. Options were to use 1 1/2 cups nuts in the frosting, either pecans, almonds or walnuts. Just so happened daughter had 1/2 cup of each so she went with that with fabulous results.
