Servings: persons

1-1/2 cup Pecans
1 cup Coconut
1 box German Chocolate Cake, 18 Ounce Box
4 whole Eggs
1 cup Buttermilk
1/2 cups Vegetable Oil
1 teaspoon Instant Coffee
8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
1 dash Milk
1/4 cups Strong Coffee
3-1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
1 stick Butter

1
Turn on your oven to 350 F.
2
Grab a rectangular baking dish (11 x 13), like one you would use to make brownies.
3
Then, cover the bottom, about 1 1/2 cups, with pecans (or walnuts).
4
Add a layer of sweetened shredded coconut (about 1 cup).
5
Whip up a box of German chocolate cake (or plain yellow, chocolate, red velvet, you see what I mean)- use the required ingredients specified by your box but remember to add one extra egg (4 eggs total), 1 cup of buttermilk (instead of the required water), the required vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon of instant coffee (because it's better this way).
6
Then, spread the cake mix evenly over your coconut layer.
7
Go back to your mixer and whip together:
8
8 oz cream cheese
9
1 dash of milk
10
1/4 cup of strong coffee
11
3 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
12
1 stick of butter
13
Once you have a good frosting made, go ahead and spoon it over the cake mixture. It doesn't need to be even or make its own layer. Literally, just spoon it on.
14
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
