Earthquake Cake
- 1 (15.25-oz.) box Chocolate cake mix (I used German chocolate)
- 1 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
- ½ c. butter, softened
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 c. powdered sugar
- ½ c. flaked coconut
- 1 c. chopped pecans, lightly toasted
- 1½ c. chocolate chips (milk chocolate or semi-sweet)
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Sprinkle pecans in the bottom of the dish, set aside.
- Prepare the cake mix as directed on the package. Pour the batter evenly over the pecans, do not stir.
- Using a hand mixer, mix the cream cheese and butter until mixed well. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until creamy. Fold in coconut.
- Drop coconut mixture by spoonfuls randomly over the batter. Using a butter knife, lightly swirl through the batter.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the cake.
- Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake come out clean.
- Cool to room temperature then serve.
