Mounds Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (about 13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 1 package (7 oz) sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions. Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the instructions on the box. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake as directed. Let the cake cool completely.
- Make the Coconut Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and shredded coconut. Mix well until combined.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Once the cake has cooled, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake. Make sure the holes are evenly distributed.
- Pour the Coconut Mixture:
- Pour the coconut milk mixture over the cake, making sure to fill all the holes and spread evenly over the top of the cake. Allow the cake to sit for about 30 minutes to absorb the liquid.
- Prepare the Topping:
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Finish the Cake:
- Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Optionally, sprinkle additional shredded coconut on top for decoration.
- Chill and Serve:
