If you love chocolate and coconut, make this easy German Chocolate Earthquake Cake! With rich chocolate and cream cheese swirls, you’ll never believe this starts with a box cake mix.

WHAT IS AN EARTHQUAKE CAKE?
Earthquake cakes are traditionally known as a very easy cake that starts with a box cake mix. After you mix the cake in one of the many varieties available, you swirl in a cream cheese filling. This cream cheese filling bubbles up around the cake giving a very “lumpy” look to the cake. Kind of like an earthquake hit! Have you heard a different way this cake got its name? If so, I’d love you to tell us in the comments below.
HOW DO YOU MAKE AN EARTHQUAKE CAKE?
This easy cake recipe is made in two basic steps:
Mix the cake mix.
Mix the cream filling
Here are a few hints:
We used German chocolate cake mix but if you can’t find it, simply use a chocolate cake.
Add the ingredients stated in the recipe, not on the back of the box.
Spray a 9×13 baking pan, then sprinkle the bottom with coconut and chocolate chips.
Mix the chocolate cake part and gently spread it over the coconut and chocolate.
Ingredients
1 box of German chocolate cake mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 cup water
2/3 cup unsweetened coconut
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup unsalted butter
8 ounces cream cheese
3 ½ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 9x13 pan with a non-stick spray.
Start by layering the coconut, chocolate chips and pecans on the bottom of your prepared pan. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, oil, eggs and water until combined. Pour the cake mix batter over the top of your layers in the pan and lightly spread around.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and cream cheese on the stovetop. Pour the butter and cream cheese mixture into a large bowl and add in the powdered sugar. Using a mixer, mix together the powdered sugar and butter until a creamy consistency has been reached.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the top of the cake mix layer in your pan. Then, swirl a knife around the cake pan to create a swirling pattern between the cream cheese and cake mix. Don’t mix too much, just enough to combine the two with a pretty pattern.
Bake for 35-40 minutes.
Cool completely before cutting if you want clean slices. If you don’t mind a dump style cake and want to eat it warm you may do so. It's delicious served with ice cream!
