This is a Duncan Hines recipe. I am not a chocolate lover, but this was really good cake. I would suggest using slightly less sugar though. <br/>Here is a tip I found on that site. It helps.<br/>After baking let stand in pan for 5 minutes. Place wax paper over and turn upside down onto cookie pan. Let sit another 5 minutes, and then remove pan. You can then let cool and put back into the original pan.

This a wonderfully mosit and rich cake. I made it for a birthday party at work and everyone loved it. It is simple to make and is a different twist then the standard German Chocolate cake.

I have this exact recipe, and it's delicious! The cream cheese mixture adds something special to the coconut and pecans - yum!

Howdy!! I have the exact same recipe from a friend. But I spread 1/2 the cake batter over the pecans & coconut, then the cream cheese mixture and then the rest of the cake batter. That way none of the cream cheese mixture shows through.
