Ingredients:
For the cake:
1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box, such as eggs, oil, and water)
For the filling:
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
For the frosting:
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweetened shredded coconut, for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box. Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the instructions on the box. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven according to the instructions on the box, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and shredded coconut. Mix well until evenly combined.
Once the cake is baked and still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the surface of the cake.
Pour the filling mixture over the warm cake, spreading it out evenly and allowing it to seep into the holes.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream frosting over the top of the cake and sprinkle with sweetened shredded coconut for garnish.
Chill the Mounds Cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Slice and serve this delicious Mounds Cake as a delightful dessert for any occasion!
