Ingredients

CAKE:

1 chocolate cake mix

FILLING:

1 cup evaporated milk

1/2 cup white granulated sugar

26-30 large marshmallows

1 14 ounce package coconut

TOPPING:

1/2 cup evaporated milk

1 stick or 8 tablespoons or 1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup white granulated sugar

1 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup almonds chopped

Instructions

Prepare and cook cake mix in a 9 x 13 baking pan according to package directions. (You can use any chocolate cake mix. I used a 15.25 ounce Betty Crocker Super Moist Devils Food Cake Mix. I also substituted milk in place of the water called for in the mix directions and added a teaspoon of almond extract and 1/2 cup chopped almonds.)

Filling Instructions

In a pan on top of the stove combine the evaporated milk, granulated sugar and marshmallows.

Cook over medium heat just until the marshmallows are melted. I don’t bring this to a boil. Stir to keep from burning.

Once marshmallows are melted (takes about 6 or 7 minutes), remove and stir in shredded coconut and mix well. Spread over hot cake.

Topping Instructions

Bring the evaporated milk, butter and sugar to a boil on top of the stove. Remove and stir in chocolate chips until melted. Stir in chopped almonds. Spread over coconut filling on cake.

Recipe Notes

I keep this cake refrigerated.
