GERMAN CHOCOLATE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
Oh, this is an ooey-gooey delight, with a rich, chocolate POW! And it's ridiculously easy to make. I make my cake from scratch, 'cause that's how I roll, but I've given the directions for a cake mix. Either way this is a fabulous no-fail dessert.

Steps:
- 1. Line a 13x9" baking pan with parchment paper which has been cut to fit the bottom of the pan.
- 2. Spread the chopped pecans over the bottom of the pan. Then layer the coconut over the pecans.
- 3. Toast the pecans and coconut in the oven briefly while it's preheating. Then remove the pan and let it cool. In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the box. Set aside.
- 4. In a microwave safe mixing bowl heat the butter and cream cheese until they're warmed and soft.
- 5. Stir the confectioner's sugar into the cream cheese mixture, until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- 6. Pour the cake mix batter evenly over the top of the pecans and coconut.
- 7. Spoon the cream cheese mixture in large ribbons down the length of the pan, over the top of the cake batter. Using a knife, gently swirl the mixture into the batter, being careful not to over-mix, or disturb the pecan and coconut layer.
- 8. Bake at 350* for 40-50 minutes. Cake will be sticky when it's done. Let the cake rest for 5 or 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a baking sheet, platter, or covered board. When cake has cooled, carefully peel off the parchment paper. Serve when completely cool.
- 9. NOTES: For added nutrition and fiber, substitute coconut oil for some or all of the vegetable oil. You could also use a large spring form pan, lined with parchment paper. I still have my old Tupperware rectangular cake taker, so I turn the cake out onto that -- works perfectly! *This recipe is easily made gluten free by using a gluten-free chocolate cake mix.
