If you’re seeking for an incredibly tasty dessert, you’ve come to the perfect place. This Earthquake Cake is full of decadent tastes and couldn’t be easier to make. This cake, named after the way it cracks, craters, and swirls, isn’t fussy and doesn’t require frosting or adornment. Starting with a box of German chocolate cake mix, you can have this dessert layered and baked in about 10 minutes.

You can’t top that for a dish this delicious! To begin, spread some shredded coconut and chopped pecans on the bottom of the baking dish. Next, take that box of German chocolate cake mix and follow the directions on the box to make the batter. When the batter is smooth, pour it into the pan. Here comes the indulgent part! Mix up a package of cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and powder sugar until silky smooth, then fold spoonfuls into the batter.

Give it a slight swirl to distribute, then pop it in the oven. The cake will bake for approximately 45-50 minutes, and you’ll know it’s done when a toothpick comes out clean and the middle jiggles just little. We recommend let it to cool so that the cream filling may firm, but if you want an ooey-gooey delicious Earthquake, we won’t criticize you for digging in. Give this dish a try for your next party or birthday, and I’m confident it’ll be a smash. Nobody will guess that you started with a cake mix!
