This cake recipe can easily create a theme for us Californians, although earthquakes seem to be making peculiar visits elsewhere these days.
EARTHQUAKE CAKE
Spray 9x13 inch cake pan with Pam
Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans on bottom of pan
Layer 1 1/2 cups coconut over pecans
Mix German chocolate cake mix according to directions on box. Then spread over top of coconut and pecans. Do not stir!
Mix the following ingredients together until creamy:
• 1 stick of butter, softened
• 1 8 oz. Pkg. of cream cheese, softened
• 1 lb. Box of confectioner sugar
Pour on top of cake mix. Do not stir!
Bake 45 minutes at 350˚. Needs no frosting. Will have deep crevices in the top of the cake.
Hint: I sometimes soften the cream cheese mixture– a few seconds at a time– in the microwave to achieve the pouring consistency that I prefer.

Hi KJ,
Thanks so much for visiting my blog.
Your cake sounds yummy and fun!
You live in the OC. I live in the VC, Ventura County. Thousand Oaks to be exact.
Have a wonderful day,

Mmmmm--now that sounds delish! We'll have to give it a try. My 14 yo daughter and I like to try out new goody recipes. So, you know, chocolate and cream cheese.... Yeah!
Smiles, Karen

That sounds like a yummy & easy recipe. I think I'll try it! I love pecans & chocolate.
You know that the Earthquake Cake recipe came from Nora (Lorrie's friend) the lady who arranged for you and your little group to sing at Leisure World. She is originally from Arkansas and brought the recipe back from a relative, I believe. It is a wonderful cake to take to a get-together as everyone loves it. It is rich so it goes a long way. And the cake name seems to belong in California. Just a little back ground. MOM
YES, this cake is a winner! Every time I make the cake it disappears. And, if people have had it before, they are first in line. It is great with coffee and tea. My MOMMY introduced it to me! (By the way, did I mention that my Mommy is a great cook!)
