Earthquake Cake

Ingredients:

1 Cup Shredded Coconut

1 Cup Pecans, Chopped

1 Box German Chocolate Mix

¼ Cup Strong Coffee or Espresso (2 shots)

½ Cup Softened Unsalted Butter

1 box Powdered Sugar

8 oz. Cream Cheese

1 Teaspoon Vanilla

Directions:

Pre-Heat oven to 350 degrees

In a greased 9×13 baking pan place the shredded coconut and chopped pecans in an even layer.

Mix the German Chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions, replacing ¼ cup of the water with ¼ cup of strong coffee or espresso. Pour the cake batter into the pan on top of the coconut and pecans.

Using a hand mixer mix together the softened cream cheese, butter, vanilla and powdered sugar until fluffy then pour on top of the cake mix and swirl in with a knife, creating a marbled look.

Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. The cake will crack when it’s done, that’s why it’s called Earthquake cake.
