Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.

Grease a 9x13 inch pan.

Sprinkle in the bottom:
2/3 cup sweetened coconut
2/3 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Mix 1 box German Chocolate Cake Mix with:
1/3 cup oil
3 eggs
1 1/3 cup water

Pour cake batter on top of the coconut/chocolate chip layer in the pan.

In a saucepan, melt:
1/2 cup butter
8 oz cream cheese

Beat in 1 lb powdered sugar (3 3/4 cups) until smooth. Then spread on unbaked cake or drop by spoonfuls and swirl into batter with a knife.

Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes.

**It is done when it doesn't wobble in the pan if you shake it. The toothpick test doesn't work because it's a gooey yummy mess of a cake:) I think it's best served warm!
