Also, add vanilla essence and grated coconut to it and mix well. Lastly, add crushed hazelnuts to it and thicken. Let it cool completely.
Beat whipping cream along with icing sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla essence until it forms fluffy peaks. Divide the cake sponge into three layers.
Spread cream on the cake board and place a layer of cake on it; soak with sugar syrup; and spread whipping cream and peach sauce on it. Repeat the process for other layers, too.
Cream coat the cake with whipping cream all over it and smooth using a spatula. Spread chocolate syrup on it and decorate it as you wish with chocolates and chocolate sticks, biscuits, and whipping cream. The tasty German chocolate cake is ready.
