This recipe is for a really fun cake called "Earthquake Cake." I think it's named that for the super-bumpy texture it has once it's baked. I baked it for a book club meeting and served it again at a church function, and everyone loved it! So without further ado, here's the REALLY SIMPLE recipe.
Earthquake Cake1 c. flaked coconut
1 c. chocolate chips
1 c. nuts (I used pecans, the recipe calls for walnuts)
1 box German chocolate cake mix (and whatever the mix calls for)
1 8-oz. package cream
cheese (room temperature)
2-1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 stick butter or margarine (also room temperature)
1 tsp. vanilla
Sprinkle coconut, chocolate chips, and nuts on the bottom of a greased 9x13" pan. Follow direction
s on box of cake mix to prepare batter. Pour batter over the chocolate chipmixture. For cream cheese filling, beat the cream cheese and butter together until creamy. Add powdered sugar about 1/2 c. at a time and beat until creamy. Add vanilla and mix thoroughly. Drop
cream cheese mixture by heaping spoonfulls over cake batter. Swirl the cream cheese through the cake using a knife. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, or until cake is set and cream cheese isn't too gooey. (I actually baked mine f
or more than 40 minutes, but the recipe said 30-40, so maybe my oven is just slow.)
