    Earthquake Cake, I got this from a SW cookbook some time ago. It gets its name because the cake is cracked with crevices on top when done. If you love German chocolate cake, but hate the time consuming process, , , this cake is wonderful!! It reminds me of my grandma’s 3 layer German chocolate cake. It’s too rich for just the two of us, so hubby looks forward to family gatherings and holidays or his birthday, smile. I love this because I love cream cheese and German chocolate and the fact that it is super easy!, Everybody loved this cake! Loved that it doesn’t need frosting. Thanks for posting! I forgot the stars!, A friend of mine introduced me to earthquake take a long time ago and it’s absolutely fab… Every party I’ve ever taken it to has RAVED about it. use butter instead of margerine and I heat the butter and cream cheese in a small pan and whisk until smooth before adding the powdered sugar which is far easier… also makes it easier to pour onto the cake instead of trying to spoon in large globs… It basically makes a cream cheese frosting that’s baked into the center of the cake. Here’s the thing though… I consider it more of a method than a recipe… you can literally use ANY boxed cake mix prepared to box instructions and any “fillers” you want. So far I’ve made the following variations:Pina Colada Earthquake Cake: Coconut Cake with Dried Pineapple & Coconut Flake fillerAlmond Joy Earthquake Cake: Devil’s food Cake with Almond & Coconut fillerSymphony Bar Earthquake Cake: Devil’s food Cake with Toffee Bits & Almond FillerButterfinger Earthquake Cake: Chocolate Cake with Crushed Butterfinger FillerThe possibilities are endless! :
