EARTHQUAKE CAKE... LEMON
I copied this recipe out of a Taste of Home Magazine, (some years back, I think around 2006 or so). I am posting it per a request by my Friend Pat. p.s. Over the years I added a few of my own touches to the recipe.

Steps:
- 1. Mix together coconut & pecans and spread in the bottom of a 'buttered' 9x13" pan.

- 3. Pour the cake mix batter over the nuts & coconut.
- 4. Combine the softened cream cheese, butter & powdered sugar and cream together until smooth.
- 5. Drop the cream cheese mixture in dollops into the batter already in pan and sprinkle chopped nut over the top.
- 6. Bake at 350° for 45 to 55 minutes OR at 325° for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
- 7. When plated add a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
- 8. Note from Cin: To make cake healthier...use a sugar-free cake mix and fat-free cream cheese. Making your own homemade powdered sugar from Splenda: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/other-dessert/cins-homemade-powdered-sugar-for-diabetics-and.html You could also use Cool Whip Lite instead of heavy whipped cream.
EARTHQUAKE CAKE
I got this from a SW cookbook some time ago. It gets its name because the cake is cracked with crevices on top when done. If you love German chocolate cake, but hate the time consuming process,,,this cake is wonderful!! It reminds me of my grandma's 3 layer German chocolate cake. It's too rich for just the two of us, so hubby looks forward to family gatherings and holidays or his birthday, smile. I love this because I love cream cheese and German chocolate and the fact that it is super easy!
