Time 1h5m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
5 ½ cups flaked coconut
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
1 (16 ounce) package prepared milk chocolate frosting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan. Remove saucepan from heat and stir white sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the melted butter until thoroughly combined.
  • Mix flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl; add butter mixture to the flour mixture and stir to form a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

  • Beat coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and confectioners' sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer until very thick; spread over the cake in an even layer.
  • Heat prepared frosting in the microwave until the frosting has a pourable consistency, about 75 seconds; pour over the cake and spread into an even layer. Refrigerate cake until the frosting is set, at least 15 minutes.

Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake

Yield 12 (per cake mix box )

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 box Devil's Food Cake Mix
eggs
vegetable oil
water
(follow amounts on your particular brand of cake mix)
1 can Coconut Frosting
3/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
8 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
small bag of shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Fllow directions on cake mix for two round cake pans. Cool cakes completely and spread coconut frosting thickly on one layer and put the other on top. Put the chocolate chips in a mixing bowl. Put cream in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, while stirring. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and stir until the chocolate is melted. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes. While glaze is still slightly warm, pour over cake. If necessary, reheat glaze in microwave and pour over a second layer. It should be a shiny hard layer, just like the candy bar. Sprinkle a little fresh coconut on the top - to decorate.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your cake batter mix more evenly and smoothly.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your cake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature: If you bake the cake at too high of a temperature, it will brown too quickly on the outside while the inside remains uncooked. If you bake the cake at too low of a temperature, it will take too long to cook and the texture will be compromised.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.
  • Use a variety of toppings: You can use any type of topping you like on your cake, such as chocolate ganache, whipped cream, buttercream frosting, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Mounds bar cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy coconut filling, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give this Mounds bar cake a try!
