German Chocolate - Joyofbaking.com

German Sweet Chocolate is a dark baking chocolate created by Samuel German (hence its name) who thought it would be more convenient for bakers to have a chocolate where the sugar was already added to it. It is sweeter than semi-sweet chocolate and contains a blend of chocolate liquor, sugar, cocoa butter, flavorings, and lecithin.

The quality of the chocolate depends on the ingredients and processing.

Famous for its use in the American German chocolate cake recipe that was very popular in the 1950s. It is a rich American style two layer cake made with sweet chocolate and filled with cooked coconut-pecan frosting.
