Put 1 cup nuts and 1 cup coconut over bottom of pan. Prepare 1 box German chocolate cake mix according to directions on box. Pour over nuts and coconut.
Mix 1 stick melted margarine with 3 cups powdered sugar and 8 oz. cream cheese. Drop by spoonfuls over mix. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Cool cake.
