Ingredients
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups chopped toasted pecans, divided
1 package devil’s food cake mix (regular size)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13 × 9-inch baking pan.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut and 1 cup of the toasted pecans evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
Prepare the devil’s food cake mix according to the package instructions. Pour the batter over the coconut and pecan layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually mix in the confectioners’ sugar until fully combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and remaining 1/2 cup pecans.
Spoon dollops of the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter.
Using a butter knife, gently swirl the cream cheese mixture into the batter to create a marbled effect.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
Swirl technique: Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture across the batter and lightly drag a knife through for a marbled pattern.
Extra flavor: Add additional chocolate chips or toasted coconut on top before baking.
Serving idea: Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Storage: Store covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
