This cake is wonderfully gooey with tons of chocolate flavor! The shredded coconut and almonds add lots of texture contrast. There is so much to love about this.

Doctored Cake Mix Recipe

This recipe starts with a box of Devil’s Food Cake Mix for ease and convenience. You’ll bake it in a 9×13-inch pan according to package directions.

Next, you’ll make a wonderfully gooey and sweet coconut layer by boiling 1 cup of water with 1 cup of milk, stirring in 24 marshmallows until melted, and then adding a 14-ounce package of sweetened shredded coconut. Spread the coconut mixture on the cake.

The next step is to make a wonderful chocolate frosting out of butter, evaporated milk, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Spread it on top of the coconut layer.

Finally sprinkle 1/2 a cup of toasted sliced almonds on top.

Recipe Tips

Note: You can toast the almonds in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Or in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir them a few times and remove them from the heat when they are fragrant.

Cake can be kept at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
