For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate German chocolate cake mix. Toast the walnuts and coconut lightly before sprinkling them into the pan for enhanced flavor and texture. Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smoother cream cheese swirl. If you prefer a less sweet frosting, reduce the amount of confectioners' sugar slightly. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
