    MOUNDS/ALMOND JOY CAKE


    Source of Recipe


    Granny's Favorite

    Recipe Introduction


    This is better than any other mounds/almond joy recipe! This cake is very chocolatey, coconut-ty and almost fudge-like! to die for!

    List of Ingredients





    2 1/2 Cup flour
    1 1/2 C. packed brown sugar
    1/2 C. unsweetened cocoa powder
    1/2 TBS baking soda
    3/4 tsp. salt
    1 1/2 C. water
    1/3 C. veggie oil
    1/2 TBS apple cider vinegar
    2 TBS creme de cocoa
    1 can coconut milk (NOT lite)
    2 C. flaked coconut
    2 C. chocolate chopped or shaved (or you can process chocolate chips COARSELY to get 2 cups)
    1 tub cool whip (or better yet, whip your own REAL cream!)

    (for Almond Joy cake, you will need 2 cups toasted coarse chopped almonds (or pecans if you prefer)

    Recipe



    Mix flour and oil together until finely crumbed. (yes, flour and oil...NOT sugar and oil)

    Add brown sugar, cocoa powder, soda, and salt and mix until fine crumbs form.

    Add water, oil vinegar and creme de cocoa. Mix well

    Pour into greased 9x13 pan and bake about 25 minutes or until toothpick comes clean

    When cake is cooled, poke holes all over with a straw (I use a chopstick) a couple inches apart.

    Shake coconut milk real well, then pour all over top of cake and in the holes. You will only need about 2/3 of the can.

    Spread cake with whipped cream, sprinkle evenly the two cups of coconut flakes, then the chocolate flakes. (if you are making almond joy, also evenly sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top)

    Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
