Easy Earthquake Cake - A German Chocolate Cake Lovers Dream!

Sit right back her time .

Me .

Oh Life and I used to makes it easy .

She shows you tricks before too long and all the quick package .

The kitchen will be huge .

Oh , today we are making a really popular upside down .

German chocolate cake .

The earthquake cake .

Look at all the craters in this cake .

Hey y'all .

It's Tammy with collard Valley cooks .

Today our oven is preheated for 350 degrees and we're gonna make an old special the earthquake cake .

Some people call it upside down German chocolate cake and some people call it earthquake cake .

It is going to be so delicious .

It is coconut pecans .

German chocolate cake mix with cream cheese , butter and powdered sugar dolloped on the top .

So delicious .

We're gonna get started .

We're gonna be mixing up just the typical cake mix for one of the layers of this cake .

So when I do a cake mix , I typically start out what , what , no matter how I'm mixing it up by hand or with the mixer , I typically start out with all the wet ingredients in first .

So we're gonna add the one and a quarter cups of water the quarter cup of oil .

All right .

So we got our water and our oil and now we're gonna add three eggs .

All right .

It's time to add the eggs .

You're gonna use three eggs .

Alright .

I'm gonna go ahead and mix this a little bit and then we'll add our cake mix .

I am using a German chocolate super moist cake mix .

I'm gonna pour it in .

It's an easy recipe too .

All right , we're gonna put in eight ounces of cream cheese .

This is a stick of butter , which is a hack cup of butter .

So you got eight ounces of cream cheese and a half cup of butter .

I'm gonna cream it first and then we're gonna add a pound of powdered sugar .

We're gonna add a pound of powdered sugar a little at a time .

So get your coconut , your pecans ready .

Have your batter mix and your cream cheese mixture to a nine by 13 cake pan .

That's a quarter sheet and we are going to spray it with Baker's Joy .

Baker's Joy is my favorite to use .

And if you want to grease and flour your own pan , you can't make sure you do a good job because this is a very sticky , it diy cut .

Now , we're going to take a cup of coconut and Sprinkle it in the bottom and I'm not measuring , I'm just gonna Sprinkle coconut in the bottom of my pan .

I love Baker's coconut .

I don't know if you can get it where you live , but it is so much moisture than everybody else is .

It's amazing the difference in bakers and the store brands .

Now , we're going to put pecans in the bottom and I'm gonna do the same thing and I'm just gonna Sprinkle them onto the bottom of the pan and I've got Chop Cons right here and , um , you use your judgment on how many you want to use .

They're expensive .

So if you don't want to use a ton of them don't , but I'm probably gonna use at least a cup to a cup and a half .

This cake can be frozen since it's just me and Chris here .

I don't know that I wanna eat this whole cake .

He's gonna love it .

He loves anything German chocolate .

All right .

So there's the bottom .

Now we're going to pour our batter in .

Yeah , just spread it out .

Even Bishop came in and now we're just going to doll up our cream cheese mixture on the cake .

Yeah .

Mhm .

Now you don't have to swirl it but I'm going to just a little bit here .

All right .

This is going in the oven at 350 degrees for one whole hour .

All right , the cake is coming out of the oven .

It smells so good .

It , you can see in that sub one a little bit .

It looks like it's cratered .

It looks absolutely delicious .

We're gonna let this cool down at least for an hour and then we'll cut it and taste it .

Y'all got our milk .

Now , me , Chris just brought milk because we were out and I'm gonna cut a piece .

Now .

This has cooled off completely .

I've never dumped one upside down just to see what it looks like .

But we're just gonna cut a piece out of this .

Looks delicious , don't it ?

Chris loves German chocolate .

I usually make the homemade kind , but every once in a while it's good to do something fun .

I think my sister-in-law makes this at Christmas time .

I'm pretty sure she does still .

It's just , it's delicious y'all and it does taste like German chocolate .

Instead of buying German chocolate icing out of a can .

Make sure you make this cake next time .

If you don't want to do the homemade kind because it is delicious .

It tastes just like German chocolate .
