German Chocolate Upside Down Cake

German Chocolate Upside Down Cake

1 German chocolate cake mix
1 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup butter
1 cup chopped pecans
8 ounces cream cheese
1 pound confectioners' sugar.

Grease and flour 9- by 13-inch pan. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Sprinkle coconut and pecans evenly over the bottom of the prepared
pan. Prepare cake mix following the package directions.

Pour cake batter over the coconut and pecans. Beat together cream
cheese, butter and confectioners' sugar; drop by spoonfuls over the
top of the cake batter.

Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean
when inserted into the center of the cake.

Cool the cake in the pan on a rack. To serve, cut into individual
serving-size pieces and using a spatula or cake server, remove from
the pan and turn upside down onto dessert plates.
