Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

1 cup margarine, divided
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup flaked coconut
1 (15.25 ounce) package German chocolate cake mix
1 ¼ cups water, or as needed
½ cup vegetable oil, or as needed
3 large eggs, or as needed
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
3 ¾ cups confectioners' sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Melt and spread 1/2 cup margarine in the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan. Sprinkle coconut and pecans evenly over the bottom of the pan; set aside.
Prepare cake batter by adding cake mix, water, oil, and eggs together in a large bowl. Stir until combined. Pour batter over coconut and pecans in pan.
Melt cream cheese and remaining 1/2 cup margarine in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in confectioners' sugar until mixture is smooth. Spoon cream cheese mixture randomly over top of cake batter.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool and serve from the pan.

Editor's Note:

The directions for making the cake mix are based on a Betty Crocker German Chocolate Cake Mix. Follow instructions on the box regarding any differences in oven temperature, added ingredients, and cooking time if using a different brand.
