When our son and daughter were teenagers, our house was the hang-out for them and their friends. This rich cake was a regular on the menu. Char Safley, Raleigh, North Carolina

I took this cake to a group and they loved it. It is so moist. Even the person who is not into desserts loved it.

This cake is easy, moist, and delicious! It's one of those great looking desserts that is not time consuming. Guests love it. My cake mix was not the 18 oz. mentioned about, but was 15 oz...it still worked great. As far as the question of the coconut topping, I personally wouldn't add it, but I'm not a coconut fan anyway. :) And for the creamer, I buy the small little tubs that don't need refrigerated. That way they're on hand and won't go bad before I need them again. It takes 8 tubs to equal the 6T. I would also would recommend letting the cake and glaze cool completely before drizzling. Then it won't run as much and I personally like the look of it better.

I have a question. If you buy a German chocolate cake mix it comes with a packet of coconut pecan topping. Do you mix it into the cake, or do you not use it?

Easy cake for an occasional dessert at home and works well for potluck dessert.
