MMMMM--------------------CREAM CHEESE FILLING-------------------------
8 oz Cream cheese; softened
1/2 c Butter; softened
1 ts Vanilla extract
1/4 ts Salt
16 oz Confectioners' sugar

MMMMM------------------------BOTTOM LAYER-----------------------------
1 c Sweetened shredded coconut
1 c Chopped pecans
12 oz Semisweet chocolate chips

MMMMM----------------------------CAKE---------------------------------
13 1/4 oz Box German chocolate cake
- mix
3 lg Eggs; room temp
1/2 c Canola oil
1 c Water
Vanilla ice cream; to serve

Set oven @ 350oF/175oC.

To make cream cheese filling, place softened cream
cheese, softened butter, vanilla extract and salt in a
large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat at medium
speed until smooth, 3-4 minutes. Add confectioners'
sugar, one cup at a time, beating at low speed until
blended and smooth. Set aside.

To make bottom layer, grease a 13x9-in. baking dish.
Layer coconut, pecans and chocolate chips in the bottom
of the prepared baking dish. Set aside.

To make cake mix, in a large bowl, combine cake mix,
eggs, oil and water; beat at medium speed 2-3 minutes or
until smooth. Pour batter into the baking dish to cover
chocolate chips, pecans and coconut. Spoon large dollops
of cream cheese filling on top of the cake batter. Bake
35-40 minutes or until the cake is slightly wobbly in
the center and the edges are set (note: a cake tester
inserted in the center will not come out clean). Remove
to a wire rack to completely cool. Slice; serve with
vanilla ice cream, if desired.
