German Chocolate Dump Cake

I had this recipe at a sit & sew session, and it was absolutely scrumptious! I came home and looked it up and made it for a gathering the following night, and it was a huge hit then also. I can't remember which recipe I used, but these two sound about right. You will NOT be sorry you tried this cake!

Option 1:
2 c. pecans (I omitted)
1 sm. can coconut
1 pkg. German chocolate cake mix
1 stick butter
8 oz. cream cheese
1 box powdered sugar

Butter a 9"x13" pan. Pack pecans then coconut in pan. Mix cake and pour over pecans. Melt butter, add cream cheese and powdered sugar. Pour over unbaked cake. Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour.

Option 2:
1 German chocolate cake mix
1 c. chopped pecans (I omitted)
1 c. shredded coconut
1 stick butter
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 lb. confectioners sugar

Mix pecans and coconut together. Spread evenly in bottom of 9 x 13 cake pan. Prepare cake mix by directions on box, pour evenly over nuts and coconut. Heat butter and cream cheese in saucepan. Stir until melted (do not boil). Remove from heat; stir in confectioners sugar. Pour over cake mix. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until cake tests done with toothpick.
