Does anyone have a recipe for an Earthquake cake? I know you use pecans, creamcheese, box cake mix, but dont have a clue as to how much you need of each.

TIA

I've made this & it's really good. It's called Earthquake Cake because it will "erupt" in the oven...lol. The first time I made it, I had one big mess in the oven. Just make sure your pan is big enough, & put something under it to catch spillover. I always put my cake pan on a cookie sheet, lined with foil. Plus I put a sheet of foil on the oven rack. I never want another mess like the first time. Everyone loves this cake.
