Recipe(tried): Earthquake Cake (using cake mix)

EARTHQUAKE CAKE 

1 cup coconut 
1 cup chopped pecans 
1 German chocolate cake mix 
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 stick butter, room temperature
1 lb. powdered sugar 

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan, and sprinkle the coconut and pecans in the bottom of the pan. 

Prepare cake mix as directed on box and pour over the nuts and coconut. 

Soften cream cheese and butter; add the powdered sugar and mix well. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture into the batter, but do not stir. 

Bake at 350F for about 1 hour or until done. 

Note from source: 
This is like a German chocolate upside down cake with the added bonus of cream cheese. No icing needed, and real quick and tasty!
