Our Church Mission Sunday Dinner theme last month was "German". I had this recipe in my to-try pile and this was the perfect oppurtunity. I found the recipe and picture (I forgot to take a picture before I took it to church) at http://www.newlyweds-blog.com/ .
German Chocolate Upside Down Cake
1/2 stick butter
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup coconut
1 German Chocolate cake mix
Ingredients to make the cake mix according to the directions
8 Oz. cream cheese
1 lb. powdered sugar
Melt butter in bottom of a 9 X 13 pan.
Sprinkle the pecans and coconut on top of the melted butter.
Mix the German Chocolate cake mix according to the package directions. Pour the batter over the coconut and pecans in the pan.
Beat the cream cheese and the powdered sugar together. Dollop onto the cake evenly so that each piece will have some.
Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.
To serve, cut it out and turn each piece upside down on the plate.
Results:
This cake was delicious! So moist and creamy and rich all at the same time. A definite repeater.
I think everyone at the Church Mission Sunday Dinner liked it too! This is definitely worth trying.
Let me know if you try it and what you think!

ReplyDeleteWhen I'm asked for my favorite, FAVORITE cake, it's German chocolate. I love it. However, it's time consuming and not all that easy. This is just terrific!! I'm totally saving it to the file.

ReplyDeleteHas anyone made the german chocolate upside down cake from the chocolate book in a bundt pan? I was thinking you could still put the coconut and nuts in the botton and make a tunnle of fudge effect with the cream cheese mixture.
