This cake starts off simple enough, but the oven transforms it into something positively jaw-dropping. The coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips standard in German chocolate cake are placed in the bottom of a pan and topped with the cake batter before the whole thing gets a silky cream cheese frosting layer. Under the influence of the warm oven, though, the coconut and chocolate chips drift up into the cake batter, and the cream cheese sinks in–as if the whole thing went through an earthquake.
