8 oz Cream cheese; softened
1/2 c Butter; softened
1 ts Vanilla extract
1/4 ts Salt
16 oz Confectioners' sugar
MMMMM------------------------BOTTOM LAYER-----------------------------
1 c Sweetened shredded coconut

MMMMM----------------------------CAKE---------------------------------
13 1/4 oz Box German chocolate cake
- mix
3 lg Eggs; room temperature
1/2 c Canola oil
1 c Water
Vanilla ice cream; to serve
Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.
To make cream cheese filling, place softened cream cheese, softened
butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Using a
hand mixer, beat at medium speed until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Add
confectioners' sugar, one cup at a time, beating at low speed until
blended and smooth. Set aside.
To make bottom layer, grease a 13x9" baking dish. Layer coconut,
pecans and chocolate chips in the bottom of the prepared baking
dish. Set aside.
To make cake mix, in a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil and
water; beat at medium speed 2 to 3 minutes or until smooth. Pour
batter into the baking dish to cover chocolate chips, pecans, and
coconut. Spoon large dollops of cream cheese filling on top of the
cake batter. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the cake is slightly
wobbly in the center and the edges are set (note: a cake tester
inserted in the center will not come out clean). Remove to a wire
rack to completely cool. Slice; serve with vanilla ice cream, if
desired.
