I was thinking of coring and putting the ganache inside and filling on top...is the consistency of the filling such that you could mound it up like typical cupcake frosting? Or put filling inside and frost with ganache (I'm guessing you would need to radically increase the amount of ganache?) Or just make a little cake with ganache surrounding filling like you have here? So many options, I can't decide what the best filling to icing ratio is. :) TIA!

This is excellent and will work wonderfully!!! Its moist! The rum syrup brings it up to a whole new level. Best German chocolate cake ever! I never realized how difficult this cake is to make great.

I don't think I'd recommend it but I suppose the only way to know is to try it and see. Not sure, I’ve never tried it.

Does it freeze well? A friend has asked me to make her father in law a German Chocolate cake (it's his favorite), but she will have to travel with it. Can the entire cake be made in advance and frozen then thawed out? This cake looks amazing! Does it freeze well?

Coconut is one of the key flavors of a German chocolate cake, not to mention a big part of the filling in this one. I would probably just use a different chocolate cake recipe - maybe chocolate overdose cake instead. Not really.

Usually just whatever I have in the pantry. I tend to buy Ghirardelli because it is a nice balance between quality and price, but I don't think it matters all that much.

I think both are important, and help make the recipe great. I’ve made it as cupcakes multiple times and still make the syrup and ganache. I think both are important, and help make the recipe great.
