Earthquake Cake

My son's class is studying Earthquakes and Volcanos.

I might make this as the end of the unit surprise.
We can use an ice cream scoop and put the cake into those small plastic cups and they can eat with a spoon. Maybe a scoop side of vanilla ice cream too?

Earthquake Cake

1 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup of coconut
1 German chocolate boxed cake mix
1 stick margarine
1 -- 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1 box confectioners sugar


Combine the 1 cup of pecans and 1 cup of coconut and put in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan.

Mix the German chocolate cake as directed on the box.

Pour the cake mix over the coconut and nuts.

Melt the margarine and cream cheese over low heat.
Slowly stir in the entire box of confectioners sugar.

Drop spoonful dollops of cream cheese all over the top -- Do not spread.

Bake cake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Let cool. Dig in!

Enjoy!
