Celebration Cake
We love pastry chef Emily Luchetti's variation on German chocolate cake: hers has white layers and a rich, bittersweet chocolate frosting. Beautiful Desserts

Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Make Ahead
The unfrosted cake layers can be wrapped in plastic and stored at room temperature for up to 1 day or frozen for up to 1 month.
Suggested Pairing
The sweetness of this decadently delicious cake would overwhelm most dessert wines, but a sweet cream sherry from Spain, such as Harvey's Bristol Cream, can match the sugariness and will also echo the coconut, pecan and chocolate flavors.
