Especially funny as Pecans are a very American thing, they don’t even grow in Europe.
So probably a significant part of the US population thinks because of this cake that Germans bake Pecan based stuff, while most Germans (me included) haven’t seen a Pecan nut in their whole life. :-)

Honestly most Americans think more about the coconut in that cake than the handful of pecans that can be left out of the recipe altogether depending on the area of the country that you’re in.
From what I can tell, most Americans don’t even realize that schnitzel is basically what they call “country fried chicken/beef/pork,” and assume that wörst in the form of various sausages, and beer are all that German cuisine consist of.
