Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 pan. Sprinkle coconut flakes and pecans over bottom of pan.
  2. Pour prepared cake mix over the coconut and pecans.
  3. Mix cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and chocolate chips. Drop the cream cheese mixture in large spoonfuls onto the top of the cake mixture.
  4. Bake for 45-55 minutes. Serve warm. The cake should pass the toothpick test - a toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the middle of only the cake layer. It is okay if some cream cheese mixture comes out on the toothpick.
  5. Top with whipped cream or powdered sugar (optional)

Notes

  • Avoid using parchment paper on the bottom for this cake. Just grease the pan well. 
  • Let the butter and cream cheese come to room temperature before mixing for the smoothest results.
  • Cover leftover cake with plastic wrap and store in the fridge.
