17.German chocolate cake
German chocolate cake, originally German's chocolate cake, is a layered chocolate cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting.

Maraschino cherries are occasionally added as a garnish.

Nonetheless, the word "grouper" on its own is usually taken as meaning the subfamily Epinephelinae.
