Coconut Chocolate Cake image

This heavenly cake, from Elsie Shell of Topeka, Indiana, is so rich and gooey you wouldn't guess it starts with a boxed cake mix. "Although I love making cakes from scratch, mixes are so convenient," Elsie informs. "It's fun to spruce them up with goodies like coconut, almonds and chocolate chips."

This cake was a bit of a disappointment. The coconut flavor was overpowering and the cake was too dense. I would not recommend this recipe.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was still very good. The coconut and chocolate flavors were well-balanced and the cake was very moist. I would recommend using a bit less flour next time.
