German Chocolate "Dump" Cake

It's time for a few Valentine's treats! And THIS one should be just the thing!

I love the ease of making a dump cake, but even though this isn't what I would consider a dump cake it sounds DELISH! Then at the end of the recipe it refers to the cake as an earthquake type cake. I don't know where the recipe came from (an am not trying to bash it!) I do think I'll give it a try. Then I think I'll add some of my frozen sweet cherries as part of the decoration. If it works out as I expect it will, I'll probably add cherry pie filling dolloped over the unbaked cake to add to it. I love a "typical" cherry dump cake and think the addition of the coconut and frosting will make this something very holiday like. Can't you see it "dressed" up for Valentine's Day or Christmas?
