@christopherhopkins1: German Chocolate Pecan Cream Cheese Dump Cake — gooey, rich, chocolatey, and ridiculously easy! 😍 This decadent dump cake combines sweet coconut, crunchy pecans, creamy cheesecake, and rich German chocolate cake into one irresistible dessert. 🛒 Ingredients 🍫 Cake Layers 1 box German chocolate cake mix 1 cup evaporated milk, divided ½ cup unsalted butter, melted 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut 1 cup chopped pecans ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 🤍 Cream Cheese Layer 8 oz cream cheese, softened ½ cup powdered sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract ¼ cup evaporated milk 🍫 Optional Topping ½ cup chocolate chips ½ cup chopped pecans Caramel sauce Toasted coconut 👩‍🍳 Directions Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Step 2: Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the bottom of the baking dish. Step 3: Add the chopped pecans and chocolate chips, spreading them evenly over the coconut. Step 4: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and ¼ cup evaporated milk until smooth and creamy. Step 5: Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the coconut and pecan layer. Gently spread it as evenly as possible. Step 6: Sprinkle the dry German chocolate cake mix evenly over the cream cheese layer. Don't stir the layers together. Step 7: Slowly drizzle the remaining ¾ cup evaporated milk over the cake mix. Step 8: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the entire surface, making sure to cover as much of the dry cake mix as possible. Step 9: Sprinkle additional pecans and chocolate chips over the top. Step 10: Bake for 40–50 minutes, until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling. Step 11: Remove from the oven and let it rest for 20–30 minutes. The center will continue to set as it cools. Step 12: Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with toasted coconut if desired. Step 13: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate German chocolate dessert! 🍫🥥🌰🍦 💡 Tips Don't mix the layers—the magic of a dump cake comes from layering everything directly in the pan. Spread the melted butter as evenly as possible over the dry cake mix. For extra gooeyness, slightly underbake rather than overbake. Toast the pecans before adding them for an even deeper nutty flavor. Add extra coconut if you love the classic German chocolate combination. Let the cake rest before serving so the cream cheese layer has time to firm up. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions for a warm, gooey dessert. For a bakery-style presentation, serve thick golden slices with the glossy coconut-pecan topping visible, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, then finish with warm caramel and toasted pecans. 🍫🥥🌰
