Description
Earthquake Cake is a fun cake that combines a box cake mix with coconut, pecans and a cream cheese filling. Once baked, the cake has crevices and cracks like a cake that has literally been through an earthquake. The end result is an ooey gooey scrumptiously moist chocolate cake with pockets of cream cheese, pecans and coconut.

- 1-½ cup Chopped Pecans
- 1-½ cup Sweetened Coconut Flakes
- 1 box (about 18 Oz. Size) Chocolate Cake Mix

- 1 teaspoon Canola Oil
- ½ Tablespoons Flour

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray deep 9×13 inch pan with nonstick baking spray. Evenly sprinkle pecans and coconut in the bottom of the pan.
