Upside Down German Chocolate Cake

Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease and flour a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan.

Spread the coconut evenly over the bottom of the pan and sprinkle with the chopped pecans.

Prepare the chocolate cake mix with its eggs, water, and oil, then pour the batter over the coconut and pecans.

Beat the cream cheese with the melted butter until creamy, then beat in the powdered sugar until smooth.

Drop spoonfuls of the cream-cheese mixture evenly over the cake batter.

Bake for about 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Cool completely, cut into pieces, and turn each serving upside down on the plate.
