California Strawberry Day: Strawberry Chocolate German Pancake

Today is California Strawberry Day, and I thought I'd celebrate with an easy to make Strawberry-Chocolate German Pancake. This recipe is from the California Strawberry Commission, and who knows strawberries better? Happy Spring!

A German Pancake is also known as a Dutch Baby. It's a cross between a souffle and an omelet. You make this in an iron skillet that bakes in the oven.
