German Chocolate Cake

I found a recipe for a revised german chocolate cake on Elana's Pantry .  A lot of her recipes call for oils such as grapeseed which I don't eat.  I subbed coconut oil for it.  She also uses a lot of agave nectar which after eating this cake, I found out impacts my blood sugar too much.  It was like having a carb coma after eating it.  If I ever make this again, I'll have to use xylitol honey instead.  This cake tasted AMAZING, but like I said, it affected my blood sugar negatively.  The Vegan Chocolate Icing on the sides of this cake was soooo good!   I'll have to make it again without the agave nectar and see if its as good.
