Indulge in the decadent delight of this Upside Down German Chocolate Cake. With a luscious blend of coconut, pecans, and cream cheese, every bite is a symphony of flavors. This recipe promises a moist and irresistible dessert that will leave everyone craving for more.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/4 cups eggs (approximately 5 large eggs)
- 1/3 cup cream cheese
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, ensuring it’s well prepared for the cake batter.
-
Layer coconut and pecans: Spread the shredded coconut evenly on the bottom of the greased and floured pan. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the coconut layer, distributing them evenly for a balanced texture in every bite.
-
Prepare cake batter: In a mixing bowl, prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the box, using water and eggs. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
-
Cream cheese mixture: In another medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and melted butter. Use an electric mixer on low speed to blend them until creamy and smooth. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is well blended and achieves a smooth consistency.
-
Add cream cheese mixture: Once the cake batter is ready, drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of the batter in the pan. This will create a delicious layer of creaminess that complements the richness of the cake.
-
Bake to perfection: Place the prepared pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted halfway to the bottom of the cake comes out clean. This ensures that the cake is fully cooked and moist throughout.
-
Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan once it’s done baking. Once cooled, carefully cut the cake into individual pieces. To serve, invert each piece onto a plate, revealing the delightful upside-down arrangement of coconut and pecans.
