I made this for my boyfriends birthday since he loves german chocolate cake. It was easy (which helps since IM not such a great baker) and came out great. He absolutely loved it and I have made it several more times per his request.

What a disaster! the cream cheese layer became mixed with the cake layer and the cake never baked. I had to throw it away! After being in the oven for 2 hours.
