Ingredients:
CAKE:
3 large eggs
1 box Duncan Hines coconut supreme cake mix
1 stick butter, melted
2 teaspoon pure vanilla flavor
1 1/3 cup milk
FROSTING:
2 cups toasted flaked coconut
1 stick soft butter
3 cups powdered sugar, plus additional if needed
1/3 cup milk, plus additional if needed
1 1/2 cups toasted sliced almonds
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup cocoa, unsweetened
2 teaspoon pure vanilla flavor
Directions:
First, you’ve got the cake. To begin, make all of the cake ingredients and throw them into a large bowl, beating this for up to 3 minutes. If you’re unable to find a coconut cake mix, add awesome coconut pudding to the yellow cake, and a couple teaspoons of coconut extract, and it’s a good way to bring that coconut flavor to this as needed.
Pour this into some 9-inch layer pans, heating this in an oven that’s 350 degrees for up to 28 minutes. You can use the toothpick to test it.
When finished, let this sit to cool for 10 minutes in a wire rack, and also let this sit to cool fully on the wire racks while you prepare the rest.
Next, you want to take the ingredients for the frosting, beating the cocoa and the butter together first until they get combined together. Follow this with the sugar, milk, and the vanilla. Meat all of this together until fluffy and light, adding a tablespoon of sugar once at a time, until you get the right consistency for this.
Take the coconuts and the almonds, toasting them together until they become nice and brown. Be careful with this, as they do burn quite fast.
Put a layer onto the plate, then put a cup of the frosting, and add some almonds and coconut, using most of the former, and half of your almonds.
Take your next layer, and then top this with the rest of the ingredients for this, adding the extra nuts and coconut around this. after that, you’re done, and you can serve this! if you want to add any more coconut, you can, but usually this is more than needed!
