Earthquake Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. coconut flakes
1 c. chopped pecans
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 stick butter
1/2 box powdered sugar
1 box German chocolate cake mix with pudding in mix

Preparation

Butter a 13 x 9-inch cake pan real good. Don't need to flour pan. Sprinkle coconut on bottom of pan, then add chopped nuts. Mix cake mix according to directions. Pour over coconut and pecans. In small pan, melt butter until soft. Add cream cheese and sifted powdered sugar. Drop by spoonfuls on top of cake mix and swirl with the cake mix until all is mixed in. Do not touch bottom of pan while swirling. Bake at 350\u00b0 for 40 minutes or until done. It will puff up and not look done. That's why it looks like an earthquake hit it. Real good, though.
