  • “Very rich and moist, I love the cr. cheese. You can test this cake with a cake tester.Another keeper!!”

  • “Took this cake to a party the first time I made it and was a little frightened at it’s appearance.When I flipped it out of the cake pan it kind of sank in the middle and looked like it wasn’t quite done cooking. It was though and it tastes FABULOUS if you can ignore how it looks.It’s very rich and moist and the coconut and pecans add a nice crunch. Thanks for a great recipe and an interesting conversation piece!”

  • “I have made this cake several times and it’s always delicious. All who have tried it wanted my recipe.”

  • “This cake was by far the ugliest cake I have seen, but wow it tasted yummy.I have such a sweet tooth that it totally hit the spot.I thought that the cream cheese would be a seperate layer, but when all was said and done it created a carmel type layer on the top of the cake.I don’t know if it was suppose to, but it was delicious.Definately a keeper.”

  • “This is the best chocolate cake ever.It taste so good!”

  • “I made this recipe for Christmas and it was gone in an hour.”

  • “I will make this again, great recipe!!”

  • “Wow!I found this recipe in one of my favorite recipe books…The Cake Mix Doctor.It was fabulous and so easy to make.I used reduced fat cream cheese and baked for exactly 45 minutes.It was perfect and quickly becoming a family favorite!!”

  • “Featured in my Book#237470.Originally posted on Jan. 16, 2008.I have made the same recipe many times, and it is always a hit.My recipe only has 2 cups of powdered sugar.”

  • “Delicious!!!!My Dad absolutely loves this recipe.I just wish my husband wasn’t allergic to coconut!It gets rave reviews from friends and coworkers whenever I make it.I do like to put a cookie sheet in the oven under the pan to catch any overflow that might occur while baking.”

  • “The people I made this for absolutely loved it.”

  • “I’ve made this many times and everyone always loves it.Quick and easy enough that my 13yr old can do it herself now.I’ve made it without coconut (not as good in my oppinion) for my sister who refuses to like coconut despite my persuasive arguments and it turned out fine.”

  • “This cake was wonderful !I didn’t have a german chocolate cake so I put chocolate chips on the bottom of the pan with the pecans and coconut and used a yellow cake.It turned out great!”
