German Chocolate is a brand name not a special type of sweetened
baking chocolate. I think any good quality sweetened or semi-sweet
baking chocolate would work well. Your recipe is identical to a recipe
I used to crank out multiple bundt cakes for a bake sale recently.
Only variations are the addition of the grated German Chocolate (which
sounds good) and the
1 C chocolate bits. My recipe specified 1 C MINIATURE semi-sweet
chocolate bits, and I'd suggest you use those rather than the full
sized which will sink in this batter before the cake sets. Rather
than just dusting w/ confectioner's sugar, I made a simple chocolate
glaze to drizzle over mine. Big Big Hit.

Happy Birthday!
