Rob loves a German's Sweet Chocolate cake with the coconut-pecan icing.
German's, not German ‹ the chocolate named for Samuel German. I've
wondered if just subbing 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips would render a
tasty cake.

Don't know. This was my Aunt Jean's recipe and, sadly, she's not alive for
me to ask.

Are you tellling me you've never seen milk chocolate chips? Huh!

I tried a chocolate-chocolate chip cake recipe last summer that called for
german chocolate. It was good but not as good as if I'd used german
chocolate. I'd had the cake before when german chocolate was in it...I
noticed. But the cake was edible, very edible. It's up to you. It won't be
the same but it won't be inedible. Which you already knew.

It might be tasty, but I bet it wouldn't be the same.

I have to honest, I'm not interested. I like the original version of the
cake, and subbing another chocolate just wouldn't do it for me. Now, an
altogether different chocolate cake, filling, frosting, etc., would be a
different issue.
