How to Make Upside Down Chocolate Cream Cheese Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan with wax paper or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to help with inverting later.
  3. Lightly grease the wax paper and the sides of the pan.
  4. Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, ½ cup chopped pecans, and ½ cup shredded coconut over the bottom of the prepared pan.
  5. Prepare your favorite boxed chocolate cake mix according to package directions. (Note: You may need to adjust liquid amounts slightly based on your cake mix instructions)
  6. Carefully pour the cake batter over the chocolate chip, pecan, and coconut mixture in the prepared pan.
  7. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 8 ounces of cream cheese and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, stirring frequently until smooth.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of powdered sugar until completely smooth and creamy.
  9. Drizzle the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cake batter.
  10. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center of the chocolate portion comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
  12. Invert the cake onto a wire rack, carefully lifting the pan to release it.
  13. Carefully peel away the wax paper or parchment paper from the cake.
  14. Cool completely on the wire rack before transferring to a serving platter.
  15. Enjoy your irresistible Upside-Down Chocolate Cream Cheese Cake!
