🍫🍰 Easy Earthquake Cake ✨

A gooey, indulgent cake made with German chocolate mix, cream cheese, coconut, and pecans—baked until it “erupts” with flavor.

Ingredients 🛒

• German chocolate cake mix
• Cream cheese
• Butter
• Powdered sugar
• Shredded coconut
• Chopped pecans
• Vanilla extract

Instructions 👩‍🍳

1. Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Layer base: Sprinkle shredded coconut and chopped pecans evenly over the bottom of the dish.
3. Cake mix: Prepare German chocolate cake mix according to package directions. Pour batter over coconut and pecans.
4. Cream cheese mix: In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese, melted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Drop spoonfuls over cake batter.
5. Bake: Bake 40–45 minutes. The cream cheese mixture will sink and create gooey “earthquake” cracks.
6. Serve: Cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Tips 🌟

• Extra flavor: Add chocolate chips or caramel drizzle.
• Variation: Try with walnuts instead of pecans.
• Serving idea: Pair with vanilla ice cream for indulgence.
