Space Coast Area HomesI just got this recipe from a friend.  She is making it for her husband's birthday tomorrow.  Doesn't this look yummy?

CHOCOLATE EXPLOSION CAKE

Ingredients:
Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1 package German chocolate cake mix
10 bit
e-size coconut candy bars, chopped,    such as Almond Joy
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick butter), at room temperature
2 cups confectioners' sugar Chocolate
Vanilla Extract
Pecan Glaze (recipe follows)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13-by-9-by-2-inch pan with nonstick spray. Mix the coconut and nuts and spread them evenly in the pan. Prepare the cake mix as directed on the box, but use 4 eggs instead of 3...and use MILK in place of water, and add 1 tsp. vanilla. Stir in the chopped candy bars. Pour the batter over the coconut and nuts. Combine the cream cheese, butter and sugar. Randomly drop tablespoons of this mixture on top of the batter; do not spread them. Bake until the sides of the cake pull away from the pan, 40 to 50 minutes. Pour the warm Chocolate Pecan Glaze over the cake. Slice and enjoy.
