Earthquake Cake recipe

One of my favorite things to make for my family and they LOVE it!  I put both pecans and walnuts on the bottom, but otherwise, I follow this recipe from Cooks.com:

EARTHQUAKE CAKE

Printed from COOKS.COM

---

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Spread 1 cup chopped pecans on the bottom of a buttered 13x9 cake pan. On top of nuts put 1 cup coconut, then pour the following batter over the nuts and coconut mixture without stirring.
• Mix 1 box German chocolate cake mix (Betty Crocker) according to package directions.
• Pour the batter gently over the coconut and set aside.
• In a saucepan, melt one stick of butter (1/4 lb) and one (8 ounce) package of Philadelphia cream cheese. Stir in one box of confectioners sugar (1 lb).
• Pay very close attention to the mixture in the pan as it will scorch easily. For this reason, it's best to use a heavy bottom pan.
• Pour the cream cheese, sugar and butter mixture over the top of the cake batter without stirring.
• Bake in a preheated 350°F for 45 minutes.
• The cake will crack in the middle. That's why it is called Earthquake cake!
