Chocolate Coconut Earthquake Cake
This cake is like an upside down German chocolate cake, cheesecake! It’s really good and so easy. I made this for my friends birthday and she loved it. She can’t wait to make it for her family.
So I bought the triple chocolate fudge cake mix, but you could also buy German chocolate cake mix. It just won’t be as sweet and rich chocolatey.
Mix your cake mix, mix up some cream cheese mixture, throw it in a pan and bake it. No frosting needed.
The coconut and pecans make a nice sticky frosting on the bottom of the cake, then it’s chocolate with cheesecake mixed in the cake.
