> german chocolate cake it's german's chocolate cake... the guy's last name was literally german

  Right, but it's not a cake originating in Germany.

    correct but nobody would spell it German's chocolate cake if it was from Germany.

      I don't recall seeing it in the possessive/genitive case like that. Any bakeries I go to have it as 'German Chocolate Cake' even google will autocorrect "german's choco... to german choco... Just like hardly anyone says "baked Alaska-Florida cake".

  TIL. In my defense, the first one I remember having (on my birthday at age 4 or so) was made by a nice German lady who lived up the street from us, so I guess it was a natural assumption.
