Ingredients
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup coconut
1 package German chocolate cake mix
3 large Eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
2- 8 ounces pkg cream cheese, room temperature
3 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar
How to Make German Chocolate Upside-Down Cake
Step 1: Using parchment paper, line a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Make sure to cut the parchment to fit the bottom of the pan.
Step 2: Over the bottom of the pan, spread the chopped pecans, then top with coconut.
Step 3: In the oven while preheating, place the pecans and coconut. Remove after and allow them to cool.
Step 4: Ready the cake mix in a medium mixing bowl following the package directions. When done, set aside.
Step 5: Heat the butter and cream cheese in a microwave-safe mixing bowl until warm and smooth.
Step 6: Into the cream cheese mixture, mix in the confectioners’ sugar until smooth and creamy. Then, set aside.
Step 7: Over the top of the pecans and coconut, evenly pour the cake mix batter.
Step 8: In large ribbons, spoon the cream cheese down the length of the pan, on top of the cake batter.
Step 9: Gently swirl the mixture using a knife into the batter. Be very careful not to over-mix or disturb the pecan and coconut layer.
Step 10: Place inside 350 degrees preheated oven and bake for about 40 to 50 minutes. When done, the cake will be sticky.
Step 11: Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool for at least 5 to 10 minutes. Onto a baking sheet, platter, or covered board, turn the cake out.
Step 12: Carefully peel the parchment paper when the cake has cooled.
Step 13: Serve the cake once completely cooled.
NOTES:
You can substitute coconut oil for vegetable oil for added nutrition and fibre.
For this recipe, feel free to use a large springform pan lined with parchment paper.
If you have a Tupperware rectangular cake taker, turn the cake out into that, and it will work perfectly!
