Before my MIL passed, this was the only thing she ever requested I bring for the family dinners. I always obliged. So glad I did now that she has passed, because every time I make it again it gives me such peace knowing I did that for her while I had the chance. I always turn mine over though, so you see the beautiful toasted layer of coconut and pecans on top! Such a wonderful dessert to take to any function, makes everyone feel like you really put some love into it! I cook like my grandmama did! ♡
I have been making this cake for along time. Carrying it to different fellowships. It is everyone’s favorite. I am so glad you made it for your followers, because it is such a joy to watch people’s reaction to eating something so delicious. Thank you, for Blessing us with your Love for cooking and showing us your & Chris’s Love & respect for one another.
That is so sweet! This is how I feel about Chocolate Eclair (the kind with Graham crackers, vanilla custard/pudding and chocolate glaze) -- My dad always requested it and now every single time I make it I think of him. I've found that finding your family's favorite recipes makes them feel special while creating sweet memories of you for them as well! *Can't wait to try this one! ❤
My birthday is next week and I plan on making this for myself. Anything German chocolate is my all time favorite. Do I plan on sharing this delicious sweet concoction with anyone? No, I will enjoy every bit of it myself, freezing some to make it last longer. That way, celebrating me, will last longer than just one day. Thank you for sharing this easy dessert.
I have been making this cake for 25 years, got the recipe from a friend at work. It has been my all-time favorite ever since. Make it, you won't be disappointed.
I use rubber bands like that also one of my nieces call me the rubber band aunt,I joined and told her I would put one on her if I could find one that fit rubber band keep things organized and neat even when I have a lot of mail to go to p.o I rubber band so everything stay neatly together
I am SO making this! German chocolate was always my favorite cake! As a child, my mother would inevitably make me a red velvet cake for my birthday because ‘she knew it was my favorite’. I never had the heart to tell her differently because I knew that red velvet was obviously her favorite… LOL. Oh my! One thing for sure is that THIS is a lot less work than an authentic German Chocolate cake. Thanks Tammy!
This is my favorite cake. It is addictive but easy to make and you can add goodness to it. Chocolate chips added is just too good. Just a easy cake to learn to make.
Oh this is such a great cake! I get so many compliments when I make it. My 4 year old son watched this with me and after you said 'bye y'all, love ya!' He got the giggles and now he's running around our house yelling 'BYE Y'ALL, LOVE YA!' over and over 😆
My Hubs favorite cake is German chocolate! This looks amazing. I just made him a German chocolate bundt cake. He said "You've made the world a better place with this cake". Ahhhh...he'll really like this one. Thank you! 😊
Now why are you over here starting something! I’m gonna surprise my Daddy with this one. He LOVES German chocolate and he’s about to retire soon. This would be a great celebration treat for him. Thank you! 🥰🙏🏾
I can definitely see why they call it Earthquake Cake! Thank you, gonna make this for my husband for Father’s Day. German Chocolate is his favorite cake. He oughta really love this!!!!
Oh for cryin out loud!!! I'm just never gonna lose this weight messin with you! Gosh I just love you and your food, ALL OF IT!! Except for okra. I tried, I really did , but that stuff for me is a noooo go. You've taught me how to make so many things. Thank you Tammy. I really appreciate all you and Cris do. Stay Blessed ♥️
Oh my gosh my nana made me this all the time growing up. I thought I would never have this again. Thank you so much for sharing. I miss her much this really took me down memory lane.
If you've never had Caramel swirled in your german choc batter then baked it's a must try!! It doesn't take a lot maybe a 1/4 to 1/3 cup..but Man does it make a huge difference Wow yummilicious! I'm gonna do your recipe . I bet it simply delishes!! Can't wait! 😁
@@cathybrown4102 I never use powdered sugar for german chocolate Cake. I use regular white sugar to make the cake and just swirl the caramel in the batter before baking. It doesn't make it overly sweet it makes it more moist with hints of caramel. 😉
@@cathybrown4102 M y mom and I always cut sugar by 1/2 or even down to only 1/3 called for in all recipes. Every pot luck we went to, ppl made our baked goods disappear FAST! I've now gone one step farther, and use Truvia (stevia) instead. One tsp. goes a LONG way! No one knows the difference. Much better for health!
You know Carla, I do believe there are people who take pleasure in being foul for no reason at all- sad as that is. So foolish if it's intended to make a statement- they're the only ones who have to carry that tally card around~ The rest of us will simply eat cake & smile👍😀
I don’t know how this came up in my feed, but I am loving this. This feels like home. I mean, Lordy mercy! Somebody that talks all southern like me! Likin’ and subscribin’ right now.
I made this cake and took it to work...I came back with an empty pan! Lol...they loved it and it's absolutely delicious! I use rubber bands on my bags too, also in the freezer. Thanks Tammy!
it really doesn't taste quite like a German Chocolate because of the cream cheese, but it is so good, especially if you make icing to go on it! 6 tbsp of Dr. Pepper, 2 Tbsp coco powder, 1/2 c of butter, cook till it boils, remove from heat, add tsp vanilla and 4 c powdered sugar. mix with mixer until smooth and pour over cooled cake and enjoy!
Since I first met my husband on a blind date over 23 years ago, he's ALWAYS made me a birthday cake (and he's NOT a baker). Some years were better than others, but a few years ago, I found this recipe and he's been making this for me ever since. I look forward to it every year. It's not the prettiest cake in the world, but DANG, it's GOOD!! I only have to wait one more month now before I can eat it again this year. YUM!!!
I got this recipe from my brother years upon years ago and it is absolutely delicious. Kind of reminiscent of an almond Joy in cake form and pecans instead of almonds
I absolutely love German Chocolate Cake! It was one of my paternal grandmother’s specialties! I can’t wait to try this! I hope it would have made her proud! Thank you!
Thanks! Update. I made the cake, mine did not turn out, exactly like yours, but the end result was loved by everyone. The pan I used was not deep enough so it overflowed and started smoking up the kitchen. So I had to take it out while we cleared that out, then put it back in to finish baking. I thought it was going to be awful. But believe it or not, it came out delicious. There is none of it left. Shared with eight people and they cleaned it up. Love your tips. I am using rubber bands now which is much easier on my poor, arthritic hands. I was having a hard time, even squeezing the clips. It’s genetics. This cake is a true winner and everyone should try it. I don’t always try recipes I see, but you made it look like even I could do it. And I did. Thank you so much. You’re the best❣️🙌🏻💕🥰 PS. One of the people that ate it said we should call it volcano cake, because mine erupted, lol. 😉🤣🥰
Made this yesterday for my dad's 87th Birthday. It was a huge success and so yummy!!! Thank you for the great recipe! Next is the strawberry cake that I remember from my mom's kitchen
Great tip! Thank you for sharing! :-D Another good tip is to use a (slender) length of Saran Wrap (plastic wrap)...when it's slightly stretched it makes a great "tie" for bags and holding things together (it's like a bungee cord), etc. In short, It sort of serves like a bread tie twist, bag clip, rubber-band tie. I tie "plastic wrap" around most of my frozen food bags. When I "misplace" my bread ties-I use a piece of "stretched" plastic wrap to tie off the bread bag, cookie bags, etc. I especially like using a piece of "plastic wrap" to hold my electrical cords in a neat bundle. And to keep my gift wrap paper from unraveling! It's better than using tape because I don't have to worry about damaging the gift wrap paper. :-D
Mom-in-law made the bestest of the best of cakes and it was this Earthquake cake and yours is just like hers. Thank you for adding the list of ingredients here instead of having to send me off to a website to get it.
I had made your German chocolate cake from scratch. As a Birthday gift. It was great. I had way to much frosting so i made this for my family. Wow this is incredible. Hope and pray you are feeling better. Thank you
I am going to make that for my doggie's vet, for his birthday. He loves German Chocolate cake but I just don't have the energy to make a homemade one right now. And, if you said it is good, I believe you!!! Thank you for so many wonderful recipes!
This cake is so good, I use to have a friend bake this for me for my birthday every year , but she retired from the job and we lost touch, it is delicious 😋
So glad to find this. My mom made this every Thanksgiving and Christmas but we always called it a neiman marcus cake. One of my favorites no matter the name.
I've never seen that cake before and it looks like a wonderful treat. I'm happy to hear that it can go in the freezer. My husband and I love a sweet treat on occasion but not nightly. I think I'll make up only half of the box mix and halve everything else, pour it into an 8 x 8 inch pan and bake for around 50 minutes. We can enjoy a piece each that evening and the rest of the cake can go into the freezer for a different day!
The half recipe worked about perfectly. The only thing I did differently was to add about a teaspoon of lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture. I felt it needed that little bit of tang. Yummy! And now I have half of the ingredients needed to make another small cake in the future!
The rule in our household is everything is better with cream cheese (even store bought pecan sandies). We sent one of our kids to the store for ingredients!
oh, dear…”store bought pecan sandies” - these were one of my late Mom’s fave cookies…cream cheese with these cookies…did I understand correctly…hmmm…; plus, growing up in San Francisco my late Mom would buy Woolworth’s German Chocolate Cake, a small one…but, so so delish…was holding off leaving a comment, but this is just the right time to chime in as this is my 1st time viewing these cooking demonstrations…thanks & God bless to all‼️❣️‼️Greetings from the San Francisco Bay Area: Broadmoor/Daly City, CA USA 🇺🇸 ❤, Ms. Virginia
I was so pleased to see how you added the eggs, that's how I learned to do it. If folks ask me why I do it that way I tell them that way if one egg isn't good the other eggs in the bowl aren't wasted. 😉
I’ve made this before and it was a huge hit. I’m making for my assigned item to bring to a holiday planning party. I watched your video to see how you made your’s, and it’s the same exact recipe that I have. I like the way you swirled the batter. Thank you for sharing your video with us🙏🏼
I am celebrating my 80th birthday in a couple of days and instead of my husband buying a cake I plan to make this for the family. I know it will be delicious and by sharing I will not eat too much. Thank you for the idea.
Good idea about the cherries. My sister hates coconut. I will try the cherries. She also doesn't like pecans but used walnuts instead. I only did that on just a 4th of the cake for her and the rest the regular recipe.
_I’m not much into German Chocolate, but I’ve got to try this recipe😍. I was sold when I saw the Pecans and drooling with the Cream Cheese dollops! Yeah, I’ll be making this for July 4th for sure_
I have been making and LOVING this cake for years now. My recipe has icing that goes on top and I make it with Dr. Pepper and I could literally drink it with a straw! it is that good!
My mouth is watering! I love a good German Chocolate and it is really hard to find a good one at restaurants. I am eager to try making this at home! Thanks for sharing!
I have had a recipe for about 30 years called German chocolate upside down cake. If was given to me by very good friend, Melba. There is only one Melba!! Believe me when I say I could eat the whole thing by myself!!! DELICIOUS!!!
I made this for my son for Fathers Day and he Loved it!! His favorite cake is German Choc and he said this tastes just like one. Thank You!! you saved me a lot of time and headache by publishing this recipe!
I made this using brownie mix in box, and it came out delicious. It's all I had. You just need to add more water to lossen the batter so it's easier to spread.
Before my MIL passed, this was the only thing she ever requested I bring for the family dinners. I always obliged. So glad I did now that she has passed, because every time I make it again it gives me such peace knowing I did that for her while I had the chance.

Am I the only one who found so much joy just watching the cake cook..bubbling and moving around like it was alive lol
?
@@christinehanton2956 Watching the time-laps of it cooking was mesmerizing for me. Maybe I am the only one who enjoyed watching it.
Sounds good 😊 l love chocolate,and German chocolate is my favorite
And I thought I was the only weirdo .😂😂😂
LOL! Nope! Lots of us really enjoyed watching! I'd never heard of an oven cam!

Oh my word girl I use rubber bands for all my stuff! I even use them on my rolls of wrapping paper!! One of the best inventions ever made!!😊

A hearty amen to that!
My grandson saw me watching this video....again. So we went an got all the ingredients. We make it tonight ..... Thanks alot Tammy ♥️♥️♥️
Ohhh. Love okra! Especially in soups.
Delicious 😋
Is it texture or taste that you don't like about okra? I love mine fried with some onion and NO breading. It's not slimy that way!
Joan it was the whole thing. Texture, taste and the smell 🤢 I just can't.
This will be my 3rd time making this cake for other people! It is sooooo good! Thank you & many blessings
Oh my gosh my nana made me this all the time growing up. I thought I would never have this again. Thank you so much for sharing. I miss her much this really took me down memory lane.

Awesome recipe and I live in Norcal with earthquakes and when your cake came out of the oven, it made me think of earthquakes I have been thru.
I will definitely try this recipe. not sure why anyone would give this a thumbs down, looks like a crowd pleaser to me

Because they are diabetic and mad they can't eat it
I like putting pudding in my cake mix it’s so moist that way. This cake looks scrumptious. Thank You for fresh Ideas
I just made this cake and poured about a cup of my homemade caramel sauce over the pecans. OMG, this cake is so damn good!!!
Oh my gosh! Caramel too, how perfect would that be 🤤
That’s a good idea. I was thinking what would I top with. I love a good Carmel topping maybe with some
More coconut and pecan

You already know...
Putting rum in the icing would be good
How marvelous! I would drizzle caramel syrup on that too. I think caramel is part of German chocolate cake heaven.

Welcome to CVC!
Collard Valley Cooks you remind me of my cousin! You feel like family! I’m going through watching your videos now! ❤️
Looks like a Mississippi Mud cake
Southern cooking is the best y'all
I think a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk might be good in this cake.
It was fun to watch the cake cooking. German chocolate cake is one of my favorites, going to use this recipe
Omg!! German chocolate is literally my favorite. I'm here for it 🤓
I love watching you cook! I'm making this for my family's Christmas Eve dinner! Thank you!!!
I made this cake and took it to work...I came back with an empty pan! Lol...they loved it and it's absolutely delicious! I use rubber bands on my bags too, also in the freezer. Thanks Tammy!
Sounds great!
We've made this cake for years in my family...it is SO good!! Very sweet but worth the time and effort.
German chocolate is my favorite! I’ve got to try this cake! 🍰 yummmmmm!
What you all call german chocolate cake is not really a german chocolate cake.
Me too
What is German chocolate?
it really doesn't taste quite like a German Chocolate because of the cream cheese, but it is so good, especially if you make icing to go on it! 6 tbsp of Dr. Pepper, 2 Tbsp coco powder, 1/2 c of butter, cook till it boils, remove from heat, add tsp vanilla and 4 c powdered sugar. mix with mixer until smooth and pour over cooled cake and enjoy!
@@kellycranford3592 super Kelly. Thank you. Really can get creative with this recipe!!

This is how i wanna go out. Eating good southern food and happy, my god i couldn't stop drooling over this

I got this recipe from a friend in 1997. It's soooooooooo good!
My Aunt used to make this for every family gathering!!! Yummy
OMG I'm in love!!! I gained 20lbs salivating over the finishing touches 😋
Looks amazing! I see my self adding Carmel and cocunut frosting, vanilla ice. Cream and hot fudge. The rare super treat! Yummm.....
I have all the ingredients in my pantry. Time to bake. Thank you Tammy. I just love you and your channel.
Oh my goodness. I baked this cake last night for my family and we loved it. Even better the next day. Thank you 😊

Great job!
That clip of it baking at the beginning got me before even watching how it's made! Mouth is watering
We called it ( German chocolate upside down cake) my family has made it for years...love it!!!
I cut the tops off of the bag of product with scissors ✂️ say rice, powdered sugar, French fries, etc., to make a tie strap to tie the bags closed.
I do the same thing-even with frozen french fries, etc.
I do that too! I thought what a great invention I made. LOLOLOLOL

I've made this before & it is fantastic! I've also used carrot cake mix & red velvet cake mix too. You will love it!!!
Oh, but you DO have to swirl it because just LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS ❤
Yikes, it looks scrumptious! 😋
My Daddy's favorite cake. Gonna have to make this in remembrance of him.
I've made this cake, sooo delicious. However a friend doesn't like coconut, so I added maraschino cherries instead, a wonderful addition.
Good idea about the cherries. My sister hates coconut. I will try the cherries. She also doesn't like pecans but used walnuts instead. I only did that on just a 4th of the cake for her and the rest the regular recipe.
You are so fun to watch! And you do cook like mama did. I guess that's why I'm a fan, you remind me of my late sweet, sweet mother. 💖
_I’m not much into German Chocolate, but I’ve got to try this recipe😍. I was sold when I saw the Pecans and drooling with the Cream Cheese dollops! Yeah, I’ll be making this for July 4th for sure_
Aww Thank you Tammie , That cake looks so yummy ,Thank you for sharing with us hugs n love
German chocolate cake with the caramel coconut and pecan topping and filling was my dad's favorite cake!:-)
That is my favorite too!
Thanks for the recipe Tammy. We are drooling looking at the cake. OMGee. Can’t wait to make that one.
The name caught my eye!! I will definately try making this yummy looking earthquake cake with the delicious ingredients. Thank you
I have been making and LOVING this cake for years now. My recipe has icing that goes on top and I make it with Dr. Pepper and I could literally drink it with a straw! it is that good!
My mouth is watering! I love a good German Chocolate and it is really hard to find a good one at restaurants. I am eager to try making this at home! Thanks for sharing!
I have had a recipe for about 30 years called German chocolate upside down cake. If was given to me by very good friend, Melba. There is only one Melba!!
Believe me when I say I could eat the whole thing by myself!!! DELICIOUS!!!
I love German chocolate cake! I have to try this! Thanks! Blessings all!!
I made this for my son for Fathers Day and he Loved it!! His favorite cake is German Choc and he said this tastes just like one. Thank You!! you saved me a lot of time and headache by publishing this recipe!
Glad you liked it!!
You've done it again! I have got to make this! I also need to remember to put on a bib before I play your videos, so I don't drool on my clothes. 🤣
Tammy you are so sweet. You remind me so much in my mother's side of the family.
My butt just grew 2" bigger just watching that video! Thinking I will have to make this in 2 smaller pans and freeze one for a "sugar emergency".
Yes mine also 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Shelley Riley
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 good one 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 i better make it then!! Keep it for my non-keto days!! 😉
I agree.......maybe threepans?...
Sugar emergency is a real thing.
My mom use to make earthquake cake when I was little, so I am thrilled to get the recipe!!
I made this using brownie mix in box, and it came out delicious. It's all I had. You just need to add more water to lossen the batter so it's easier to spread.
Sounds Devine! I completely agree with the Bakers coconut! Worth a little extra $. Love your pretty bracelet!
