- 15.25 ounces German Chocolate Cake Mix prepared according to box directions
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cups butter softened

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 pan. Sprinkle coconut flakes and pecans over bottom of pan.
- Pour prepared cake mix over the coconut and pecans.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
