That’s right, an explosion of happiness. I don’t know about you, but when there’s chocolate involved, I am so there.

Sweet cream cheese? Yep, totally there. Pecans? As long as they’re paired with chocolate, sure, why not.

All three together? Girl, pass the earthquake cake and no one gets hurt.

And move over, because this cake is my new BFF.

OK, not really, but just look at this thing!

I made this cake in the late morning and guess what I had for lunch that day?

Yep. I had a piece of earthquake cake for lunch. And you would have too, so no judging.

I’ll admit, this cake takes longer to bake than I would normally like, but it’s worth it once you take your first bite.

If you’re trying to win anyone over, earthquake cake your secret weapon. Boss, teacher, co-worker. you name it.

Take this to them and BAM. Now you’re the new BFF.

I mean, what’s not to love about this cake?

Must-Have Tools For Making An Earthquake Cake

1. Glass 9×13 Baking Dish – I don’t care who you are, every kitchen needs a 9×13 pan. It’s so versatile- cakes, brownies, casseroles, dips, hot wings, chicken, and so much more
2. Cooling Rack – Again, every kitchen needs these racks, and not just for cooling earthquake cake. These are great for cooling cookies, bread, cakes, and literally everything else you bake
3. Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer – Ideally a stand mixer is the best way to go, however, they can be a little pricey. So, if it’s not currently in your budget, a hand mixer is great, too. Just get one. Mixing by hand is a real pain in the arse.
