Category: Cakes

1 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2-2 cups shredded coconut
1 cinnamon swirl cake mix
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
1 (8 oz) pkg softened cream cheese
1 box or 2 cups confections sugar

Take a 10x13 inch pan & spay with cooking spray. Cover bottom of pan with chopped pecans. Then spread coconut over the pecans.

In a mixing bowl mix cake mix by directions on the box but add 1 tsp. cinnamon to the cake mix. Add cinnamon swirl packet to cake mix but start and stop your mixer about 6-7 times. Pour cake mixture over coconut and pecans.

In a mixing bowl cream your soft margarine, cream cheese and powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon. Drop by tablespoonful in dollops on top of cake batter. Take a knife and run it through the cream cheese mixture a little bit to swirl the top of the cake. Not too much! You still want to have the cream cheese in clumps.

Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes. This cake will fall and look like an earthquake hit it.
