Upside Down German Chocolate Cake

German Chocolate Cakes have always been my favorite kind of cake. But if you have ever made one, you’ll know its a little tricky and complicated to make one, especially from scratch. This recipe that I am sharing today, is easy to make! It doesn’t have layers like the traditional cake, but just as tasty!
