* Exported from MasterCook * Chocolate Earthquake Cake Recipe By : Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Cakes Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 cup chopped nuts 1 whole can sweetened flaked coconut -- (3.5 ounce) 1 Box German chocolate cake mix -- batter prepared according to package directions 1/2 cup margarine 8 ounces cream cheese -- softened 1 pound confectioner's sugar Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x12 inch cake pan. Cover the bottom of the pan with the nuts and coconut. Pour the cake batter on top. Melt the margarine in a bowl, add the cream cheese and confectioner's sugar; stir to blend. Spoon over unbaked batter. No need to stir because as the cake cooks, the icing sinks into the batter forming a white ribbon inside. Bake 40 to 42 minutes. You won't be able to test for doneness as this cake will appear sticky even when it is done. Mix equal amounts of each: lemon extract; butter flavoring; vanilla extract; rum flavoring; coconut extract; and almond extract. I found that as time passed, the flavor became more and more delightful!! posted to recipelu list" Judy of Maine Posted to RecipeLu List by Diane Geary on Apr 5, 1998. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : Originally from: Dallas Morning News
