A German Forest Chocolate cake is pure rich, creamy, dark chocolate, delicious. Never heard of coconuts on it. Someone must have had a whim and added it. Nevertheless it sounds like a good idea.

German chocolate cake doesn't necessarily mean that it was created in Germany, it just uses German style chocolate.

No, they don't, but that doesn't mean they can't get coconut. I lived in Germany for 7 years and they use it in their deserts quite a lot.
