CARROT CAKE ICING

4 cups powdered sugar
1 8 oz package cream cheese
½ stick butter
1 tsp vanilla
½ cup nuts

Beat cream cheese and butter together. Add sugar, vanilla and nuts. (Add a little milk if too thick).

Butter a 9X13 pan

Spread in the bottom of pan:
1 c chopped pecans
1 c coconut

Mix a German Chocolate Cake mix according to the directions on the box.  Spread the cake mix carefully onto the nuts and coconut taking care that the nuts and coconut don't move to the sides of the pan.

Mix:
1 c melted butter
8 oz  cream cheese softened
16 oz  powdered sugar
Spread this carefully over the cake mix.

Bake at 350 degrees 50 plus minutes.  Watch it carefully after 50 minutes.  I had to bake it longer.

When you serve this cake flip the piece that you serve over so that the pecans and coconut are on the top!

Be sure you have plenty of guests because you don't want this cake just sitting around!
