This would be a "home run" made with a pumpkin spice cake mix, too.

I wish there was a LIKE button on here like there is on Facebook. So many times I would love to just say how I like what someone has posted!!

I LOVE this cake! My mom has been making this cake for years. SOOO good and always moist. I made these into cupcakes about a month ago. I used the foil cupcake liners. Boy they looked ugly. The earthquake effect didn't work as well in the cupcakes lol. But they still tasted delicious. A great recipe

I agree. I think it's one of my all time favorite cakes, but you're right...it sure is rich! Although, it doesn't seem to hang around here very long, because I can't stay out of it. Every time I go by I have to even up the edge a little!!

Sounds yummy - need to forward this one to my sister in Calif. ;)

mmm sounds delicious

Thanks - will make this cake when my mother gets out of the hospital, coconut and pecans are her favorites!

thanks for the recipe

I made this tonight and I am not sure about it. I followed the instructions on here exactly. I noticed when I did a search for this recipe there was another one by KyKaren1949, it said to heat the cream cheese mixture till bubbly in a pan on the stove, then pour over the batter. I could not pour the mixture, it was way too thick in this recipe. I think it might should have been heated. Oh well too late now. I hope it will be somewhere close to what it was inteded to be. I baked it for 50 minutes and it was done around the edges but liquidy in the center. I put them back in the oven to sit awhile longer but turned the oven off. Sure hope the center gets done.

I've never heated the mixture before and it always turns out great. There's really no way to tell if it's done because the German Chocolate "icing" is inside the cake, so it will be soft.

I hope you enjoy it!
