Quake Cake Dutch Oven Dessert
Ingredients:
1 box Duncan Hines German Chocolate Cake Mix
3 Eggs
1 1/3 c. Water
1/2 c. Oil
1 c. Coconut
1/2 c. Chopped Walnuts
8 oz. Softened Cream Cheese
1 Stick Softened Butter
2 c. Powdered Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 pkg. Chocolate Chips
Directions:
In your 12″ regular Dutch Oven preheat and oil it. TIn the bottom of your dutch oven, put the coconut and nuts.
Mix cake mix according to package directions. Spread batter over the nuts and coconut.
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar until fluffy. Spread over the batter. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Bake at 350 degrees F, 15 briquestts on the top and 10 on the bottom, for 50 minutes. Cool.
*Duncan Hines suggest this be served with Cool Whip. I personally do not think cool whip would “Add” anything to the cake, but that’s a personal choice .. So add a dollop on top of your piece if you want. If you have Ice cream it works great too!!
When you take the lid off your dutch oven, it looks like it has exploded (it does not actually explode, so it won’t mess up your oven!). That’s why it’s called an Earthquake Cake. The cream-cheese mixture sinks and the nuts and coconut rise, and it looks really funky!! But it tastes delicious!!
If you like the aluminum dutch oven liners this would be a great one for that.
