Decadent German Chocolate Pound Cake {Granny's Recipe}

German Chocolate Pound Cake, luscious rich pound cake made with Baker's German Sweet Chocolate and dusted with a little powdered sugar to make it decadent.

When you see recipes for German Chocolate Pound Cakes, you usually see them made with a cake mix.  

They are delicious made with them, and I use them, but my favorite recipe is my Mother's.  

Her recipe is one that was popular in the '70s and made with Baker's German sweet Chocolate.  

This recipe is unique in that you cover the warm cake in a tight cake cover so that it will sweat until it is completely cool, producing a moist and velvety pound cake.
