Upsidedown German Chocolate Cake

This is sooooo yummy!



1 Cup Coconut
1 Cup chopped Pecans or Walnuts
1 German Chocolate Cake mix
1 1/4 C. Water
1/3 C. oil
3 Eggs

3 1/2 C. Powdered Sugar
1 C. Margarine or butter (room temp
1 8oz. Cream Cheese (room Temp)
Grease 9x13 pan. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Sprinkle coconut and nuts evenly over bottom of pan. Combine cake mix, water, oil & eggs. Mix at low speed until moistened. Beat 2 minutes on high. Spoon batter evenly over coconut & nuts.
Combine butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth and creamy. Spoon as evenly as possible over batter. Don't get closer than 1 in from edge of the pan.
Bake 45-55 min.
Check to see if done by inserting a toothpick in center of cake, it should come out clean when it's done.
Top with Whipped Cream
A few notes:
*This cake will overflow if you put it in a normal glass 9x13 pan. So put a cookie sheet under the pan in the oven or if you have one use a 9x13 pampered chef casserole pan.
*This cake is very rich and doesn't really need whip cream on top.
*I love this cake because it looks awful- but tastes great!
