EARTHQUAKE CAKE
This is a staggeringly rich dessert and, depending on how little judgment your guests have, could serve 20-30 people. It is called Earthquake Cake because of the fault lines left in the top of the cake after baking. This is also my husbands favorite dessert.

2/3 c. shredded coconut	2/3 c. chocolate chips	1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, room temperature	1 lb. (4 cups) powdered sugar
2/3 c. pecan gems (or whole pecans, finely chopped)	1 box (18 oz.) German chocolate cake mix (your favorite brand)	¼ lb. butter or margarine, room temperature

Sprinkle the coconut, pecan gems and chocolate chips over the bottom of a sprayed or greased 9 x 13 inch cake pan. Prepare the cake, following the package directions, adjusting for altitude, if necessary, then pour batter into prepared pan. In a small saucepan, melt the cream cheese with the butter or margarine, then stir in the powdered sugar. Spread or pour over top of cake batter. Spread topping a bit thicker at the edges. Place in a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 40-50 minutes.
