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!
