Earthquake Cake

A very good friend of mine asked me what an Earthquake Cake was just the other day. I received one of those "Things you dont know about me" emails and of course, I filled it out and sent it to all of my friends. One of the questions was what is my favorite cake? Mine is Earthquake cake. If you have never had it you are missing out! It is easy and delicious. My mom likes to make this cake for my Daddy's birthday. She always laughs and says the cake cracked and broken like our bodies when we get older. If you know my mom, then you can understand.. If you dont know her, well that is another story.....

1 box German Chocolate Cake Mix prepared as directed on box.
1 c. pecans chopped
1 c. coconut
1 stick of margarine
1 8oz package Cream Cheese

Melt Margarine and Cream cheese together. Add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, margarine mixture. pour over cake mix. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes..
