This dessert is so much easier to make than the traditional German chocolate cake. Be sure to refrigerate it after baking so that it is at its best.

Ingredients

• German chocolate cake mix including eggs, oil and water
• Cream Cheese Filling:
• 16 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1 1/2 c. granulated sugar
• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• Coconut Pecan Frosting:
• 1 c. granulated sugar
• 1 c. evaporated milk
• 1 stick real butter, cubed
• 3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
• 1 t. vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 c. flaked coconut
• 1 1/2 c. chopped pecans

Steps

2. Prepare the cake batter according to package directions with eggs, oil and water for a 9 x 13 inch cake; set aside.
