How to Make Hurricane Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded coconut and 1/2 cup chopped pecans evenly over the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, prepare your favorite boxed cake mix according to package directions. (Note: You may want to use a white cake mix for best results).
  4. Pour the cake batter over the coconut and pecan mixture in the prepared pan.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened unsalted butter until smooth and creamy.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture (approximately 12-15 dollops) over the cake batter.
  7. Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the cream cheese mixture into the cake batter, creating a marbled effect.
  8. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. While the cake is still hot, pour your favorite melted frosting (approximately 1 cup) evenly over the top.
