Turtle Cake

1 box German Chocolate cake mix
1 14 oz bag caramels
1/2 Cup evaporated milk
3/4 cup butter
2 Cups chopped walnuts/pecans
1 cup miniature chocolate chips
Prepare cake mix using package directions.
Pour half of the batter into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Melt caramels with evaporated milk and butter in a sauce pan over low heat, stirring constantly. Pour over cake. Sprinkle with 1 cup nuts and 1 cup chocolate chips. Pour remaining batter over filling. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup nuts. Bake at 350 for an additional 25-30 minutes.

Earthquake Cake

1 cup coconut
1 cup chopped nuts
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 8oz package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter (1 stick) softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup chocolate chips

Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan. Sprinkle nuts and coconut on bottom of pan. Mix cake mix as directed on box. Pour over nuts and coconut.

In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla with a hand mixer on low to medium-low until well blended (add the sugar about a half cup at a time to prevent a powder explosion). This mixture will look like thick cheesecake batter.

Drop by spoonfuls over the chocolate cake batter, leaving at least a one-inch margin around the sides of the pan (this prevents the cheesecake from bubbling over).

Weave a butter knife in an s-pattern through the batter to create a swirl, but be sure to not disturb the nuts and coconut — keep the knife very shallow. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.

Spread mint ice cream on bottom, then top with vanilla and strawberry, spreading all layers level. Top with thawed whipped topping swirling top decoratively. Crush remaining 3 sandwich cookies and sprinkle over cake. Return to freezer; freeze overnight.

• 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
