Feb. recipe

Sorry I am late on this recipe but it is worth the wait. This is soooo yummy!

German Chocolate Upside Down Cake

1 package Duncan Hines German Chocolate Cake mix
1 cup pecan chips (I use 2 small packs)
1 cup coconut firmly packed
1 8oz pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 box powdered sugar (4 cups)
1 stick melted butter

Grease & flour 9 X 13 in cake pan. Pour the pecans in bottom of pan. Then layer the coconut on top of nuts. Mix cake mix as directed on box and pour over pecans and coconut. Mix cream chees, powdered sugar and butter. Spread over cake mix. Bake at 350 degrees for 45min to 1 hour. (It takes an hour in my oven). You want the cake done but the cream cheese is soft. That's it. Cool and serve. I refrigerate mine after serving and warm in microwave when I want another slice. Hope you enjoy.
