Receta Red Velvet Earthquake Cake
I've never tried an Earthquake cake before, and honestly I can't believe I waited so long! They're usually made with a German chocolate cake mix, however I wanted to use red velvet and I also prepared it in a different way. Instead of putting the coconut on the bottom, I mixed mine with the cream cheese, tossed in some chocolate chips, and skipped the nuts. This cake was so moist and delicious! I love how simple it is to make...and it is so good it doesn't even need a frosting. If you're in a hurry and need a quick and easy dessert, make sure you try this one...you won't be disappointed!

1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix (plus the ingredients needed to prepare the cake)
