Earthquake Cake Recipes

Oh, my goodness, Earthquake Cake is such a delight. Chocolate lovers and Cheesecake lovers will love the combination of flavors in this “wreck” of a cake! Coconut and pecans are placed at the bottom of a baking dish. This is topped with German chocolate cake batter and then a cream cheese layer.

While the cake bakes, all the ingredients perform a seismic shift and an “earthquake” occurs. All that yummy chocolate and cheesecake, along with coconut and pecans cracks as the cake bakes and cools so that craters, crevices and gorges form, much like Grand Canyon. It is amazing.

INGREDIENTS
1 Duncan Hines German Chocolate Cake Mix
1 cup coconut
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
8 oz. cream cheese
1 stick butter 1/2 cup
4 cups powdered sugar
