This is very good!!!!!! Got a lot of compliments at pot luck lunch on it. Might use more cream cheese next time to break the sweetness just a tad. Might even try without nuts and coconut (my son doesn't like either).

I made this for a party and everyone went nuts for it. The only thing I did different was I used the whole package of coconut (7oz) and 1.5 cups of chopped walnuts. I cooked it for 55 minutes and it turned out perfect. I will make this cake often thanks so much for the wonderful recipe!!!

This recipe is better using a fudge cake mix rather than a german chocolate cake mix. I put the cream cheese filling in a gallon zip lock bag, snip the corner off, and pipe the filling all over the cake batter. It comes out more uniform this way.

This is great. I was looking for something to make for a birthday when I knew I would not have time to frost something before we went out. I looked this up at work, went to the store, put it together and put it in the oven. I actually left the house with it hot. I love something that does not need to be frosted. Everytime I make it, it comes out different and usually takes longer then 50 minutes. Sometimes it all just sinks to the bottom but still tastes great. I have started using a dark chocolate fudge cake mix instead of German chocolate. My sister in law loved it on her birthday and now makes it for all kinds of things. She also makes it in cupcake form and has dyed the cream part red on halloween to imply something gruesome. :)

I made this cake for the first time on Mother's Day. It is a chocolate lovers delight. Brought the leftoevers to work.Everyone enjoyed it. The only criticism I have is what many others say...frosting is too sweet..would put less confectioners sugar in it. HOWEVER, I would make this again.

YUM!!! Made this cake for a church gathering and had several requests for the recipe. Only thing I changed was using pecans instead of walnuts because I'm not a fan of walnuts! Otherwise made exactly as directed and turned out perfectly. Baked for 50+ minutes like others suggested and it was definitely done.

I made a german chocolate cake from the Fanny Farmer Cookbok in lieu of the cake mix and it turned out excellent. I highly recommend the extra work of creating the "cake" from scratch.

Very good cake. My mother makes the same cake but it has different name "Chocolate Delight Slap Your Momma Cake" her friend in Florida gave her the recipe. The cooking time was accurate any longer and the cake would have burned. The kids loved it.

Delicious! I used a mixer to mix the melted butter, cream cheese and conf sugar, then dropped by small spoonfuls all over cake. Also took others advise and cooked for 50 minutes. Will definately be making this again.

Really yummy cake recipe. It was a little mushy in the middle of the cake so will need to add some more time on if I make it again. The parts that were cooked through were tasty though. I found it to be even better the next day.

My husband was in the mood for chocolate cake and cream cheese - so I searched and found this. It was awesome. It is messy and isn't necessarily beautiful looking. I doubled the cream cheese as suggested by another reviewer and I think this made it a little less sweet - which was a good thing otherwise we would have only been able to eat a sliver in one sitting. I will definitely be making this again!
