What’s a quake cake?
Quake cake is a fun dessert made by mixing a boxed cake mix with coconut and pecans, then adding a creamy cheesecake filling inside. During baking, the cream cheese layer bubbles up and cracks the cake’s surface, creating the “earthquake” effect. For a quick single-serve fix, check out this easy 3-Ingredient Mug Cake.
Tips for the best Chocolate Quake Cake:
- Not a fan of coconut? Feel free to skip it.
- Walnuts are a great substitute for pecans.
- Serve this cake warm for the ultimate gooey experience!
- Use a cake pan at least 2 inches deep to accommodate the filling.
Storage advice:
Because of the cream cheese, refrigerate any leftovers. You can reheat slices in the microwave if you prefer them warm.
