   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      cup           chopped nuts
    1      whole         can sweetened flaked coconut -- (3.5 ounce)
    1      Box           German chocolate cake mix -- batter prepared
                         according to package
                         directions
      1/2  cup           margarine
    8      ounces        cream cheese -- softened
    1      pound         confectioner's sugar
 
 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.   Grease a 9x12 inch cake pan.  Cover the
 bottom
 of the pan with the nuts and coconut.  Pour the cake batter on top.  Melt
 the
 margarine in a bowl, add the cream cheese and confectioner's sugar; stir
 to
 blend.  Spoon over unbaked batter.  No need to stir because as the cake
 cooks,
 the icing sinks into the batter forming a white ribbon inside.  Bake 40
 to 42
 minutes.  You won't be able to test for doneness as this cake will appear
 sticky even when it is done.
 
 Mix equal amounts of each:
      lemon extract; butter flavoring; vanilla extract; rum flavoring;
 coconut
 extract; and almond extract.
      I found that as time passed, the flavor became more and more
 delightful!!
