The Farmhouse Kitchen: The Madness of March
March 2024
Ingredients
- 1 box German Chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup coconut
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1 pound powdered sugar
Directions
Mix cake mix according to instructions. Spray a 9×13 cake pan with pan spray. Sprinkle pecans over the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the coconut over the pecans. Pour cake mix over pecans and coconut in pan. Do not combine, just pour it over the coconut. In mixer bowl, beat cream cheese to soften; add butter and powdered sugar and mix to combine. Plop cream cheese mixture over cake mix.
Bake 350 degrees for 45 minutes (don’t over-bake – it will look a little underdone). Remove from oven and cool before cutting.
When the recipe says plop, really plop it. Don’t swirl it, smooth it, or try to make it neat, just plop spoonfuls onto the top of the cake batter. The cake will cook over it, creating its own swirl.
