They all pair well with shredded coconut.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it with other chocolate cake mixes:<\/strong> Go with this option for a stronger chocolate flavor, or if a German chocolate cake mix isn&#8217;t available. Chocolate boxed cake mix varieties include devil&#8217;s food, chocolate fudge and milk chocolate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add sprinkles:<\/strong> Tailor your earthquake cake to holiday celebrations or a birthday party, by scattering sprinkles over the top of the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Earthquake Cake<\/h2>\n<p>Because earthquake cake is made with cream cheese, it&#8217;s best to store it in the fridge. Cover the pan tightly with food storage wrap to keep the cake moist, especially between servings.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does earthquake cake last?<\/h3>\n<p>If you keep the cake chilled and covered tightly, it should last for up to a week. However, it&#8217;s unlikely that earthquake cake will actually stick around that long. This is one of those desserts that everyone will have everyone sneaking to the refrigerator to take a forkful (I would know, because that&#8217;s what I did with my earthquake cake!).<\/p>\n<h2>Earthquake Cake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2094135\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Earthquake-Cake_TOHD24_279119_NancyMock_9.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"A slice of chocolate brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, served on stacked white plates.

Serve still-warm or room-temperature slices for an almost melty texture in the center and puddles of cream cheese filling. Or, serve the cake cold for a texture that&#8217;s fudgy and especially rich. Once you&#8217;ve decided on a temperature, you can enjoy earthquake cake just as it is, or add a dollop of whipped cream or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-vanilla-ice-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-vanilla-ice-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vanilla ice cream<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you fix an overbaked earthquake cake?<\/h3>\n<p>The difference between a cake that&#8217;s perfectly baked and one that&#8217;s overbaked (a common <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/cake-mistakes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/cake-mistakes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cake mistake<\/a>) often comes down to mere minutes, and that&#8217;s true of earthquake cake, too. Check it after about 30 minutes in the oven; the cake is done when it&#8217;s set at the edges, has a tiny wobble in the middle and a tester inserted in the center still has wet batter on it. If your tester comes out clean, that means your earthquake cake has baked a little too long.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that earthquake cake will still have moisture thanks to the cream cheese filling and coconut. It won&#8217;t be as fudgy, but it will still taste good. Refrigerating the cake once it cools will also help it taste more moist and rich.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Made with German chocolate cake mix, indulgent earthquake cake

To avoid overbaking, begin checking the cake at the 30-minute mark. It's done baking when the cake is set at the edges and has just a slight wobble in the center. (A cake tester inserted in the center will NOT come out clean.) Move the pan to a wire rack to completely cool. Slice the cake and serve it with vanilla ice cream, if desired. Editor's Tip: The cake will take about an hour to cool completely. If you saved some chocolate chips, sprinkle them over the top of the cake once it has cooled.","image":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Earthquake-Cake_TOHD24_279119_NancyMock_6.jpg?fit=700,1024"}],"recipeYield":"16 pieces","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nancy Mock"}],"nutrition":{"@type":"NutritionInformation","calories":" 1576 calories","fatContent":"63g fat (28g saturated fat)","cholesterolContent":"103mg cholesterol","sodiumContent":"574mg sodium","carbohydrateContent":"262g carbohydrate (236g sugars","fiberContent":"5g fiber)","proteinContent":"9g protein."},"aggregateRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.6,"reviewCount":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5},"review":[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2025-01-11","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Jellybug"},"reviewBody":"<p>I made this cake for my daughter in laws birthday and it was a hit! delicious, decadent and perfect for my family, who loves easy to make cakes.
