Tasty Tuesday!

EARTHQUAKE CAKE!

How's that for a scrumptious tuesday tasty?!

This cake was heavenly delicious.  I'm not a huge fan of desert or chocolate, but this may have changed my mind completely ;]  If it were me, I'd call it Super Surprise Cake.  It looks like a run-of-the-mill pan of brownies or chocolate cake...but then you dig in and find many surprises that make your taste buds scream "Uh-huh, one more piece please!!!!"  Pecans, coconut, cream cheese, powdered sugar.....oh, it's amazing.

I took this cake to my cousins family reunion last night.  I didn't tell anyone what it was.  It took a while for anyone to dig in (they all just assumed it was plain old brownies).  Half way through the night my cousins husband came to me and asked "What is in that cake...it's awesome!??"  That made my night, because I knew it would be surprising :]  Anyway, it was eaten and enjoyed!  Here's the recipe...

When in doubt, I always pick up a Gooseberry Patch cookbook.  Their recipes are always delicious and everyone loves the results.  So, this recipe is from the "Family Favorites" book.  This particular book has been used so many times it has oil, vanilla and dressing stains all through it.  You always know your favorite cookbooks from the amount of 'food stains' in them!

Peace out and don't be afraid to eat!
