Ingredients:
1 box German Chocolate Cake Mix (do not prepare as directed on box, prepare as directed below)
1/3 cup oil
3 eggs
1 and 1/3 cup water
2/3 cup shredded coconut
2/3 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup butter
8 oz cream cheese
1 pound powdered sugar (3 and 3/4 cups)
Directions:
-Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan.
-Sprinkle the coconut, chocolate chips, and pecans on the bottom of the pan.
-Mix the german chocolate cake mix with the oil, eggs, and water.
-Pour the cake mix on top of the coconut/chocolate chip/pecan layer.
-In a saucepan, melt the butter and cream cheese.
-Beat in 1 pound of powdered sugar until it’s smooth to the butter/cream cheese.
-Spread this mixture on top of the uncooked german chocolate cake in the pan, and swirl into the cake mix using a knife.
-Bake for 35-45 minutes. It is done when it doesn’t wobble in the pan if you shake it. The toothpick test shouldn’t work because the cake should be more gooey in nature.
