This German Chocolate Upside Down Cake is a German chocolate cake that is both quicker and easier than the traditional right-side-up cake.
This cake is wonderful. One thing; the presentation isn’t that great. But if you don’t try it because of that, you are missing out on a wonderful cake.
It is very rich and tasty. German chocolate cake isn’t supposed to be really heavy on the chocolate. This one is just right.

A much better cake than the right side up version.
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 cup pecans, finely chopped
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup margarine melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 18 ounce box German chocolate cake mix with pudding
- 1 1/3 cups water
- 1/3 cup oil
- 3 eggs
Preheat oven to 375°F Grease and flour 13x9 inch pan. Sprinkle coconut and pecans evenly over the bottom of the pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mix cake mix, water, oil and eggs as directed on the box. Carefully pour batter over coconut and pecans in prepared pan.
Mix melted margarine, cream cheese, and powdered sugar in large bowl on low speed for 30 seconds, or until well mixed. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat 30 seconds more, or until smooth.
Spoon cream cheese over batter, leaving a 1-inch border of batter around the sides of the pan, and smooth with a spatula.
Bake for 43-48 minutes, or until the cream cheese mixture has turned golden brown and the cake springs back when touched lightly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edge of the cake and invert it onto a serving platter. Let rest for 20 minutes more, then slice and serve.
Enjoy!
