Earthquake cake

This recipe was passed onto me from my sheeshter, Api, otherwise known to most as Nafisa. =D Sounds deeeeelicious!

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups chopped pecans
1 ½ cups shredded coconut
1 box German chocolate cake mix (prepare per box directions)
½ cup margarine (1 stick)
1 8-oz tub cream cheese
1 box powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease & flour a 9” x 13” pan. Spread pecans and coconut evenly in bottom of pan.

Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour prepared cake mix over nuts & coconut.

Melt margarine and cream cheese in a saucepan. Add powdered sugar to melted mixture while still on stove and stir till well blended. Pour mixture evenly over cake batter. Bake for 45 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool and cut into squares.

  1. i made this cake again last Friday. I only used 1 cup of pecans though, 1.5 cups seemed too much for me. Also, my cake was done in 35 minutes. So keep checking as all ovens vary in temp. My friend's cake actually took an hour.
