German Chocolate Upside Down Cake

I made this for friends and they liked it but are normally not crazy for german chocolate. Their four year old asked for another piece while she was still eating the first. I brought half home and my parents and boyfriend thought it was wonderful. The cream cheese mixture definitely makes the cake. Will make again.
