Ingredients
- 15.25 ounce box chocolate cake mix (chocolate fudge or devil's food cake)
- ingredients needed to make cake; eggs, oil and water
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 7 ounce bag sweetened coconut flakes
- 12 ounce bag chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter
- 2 ounce bag sliced or slivered almonds
- 1/3 cup milk, 2% or higher
Instructions
- Bake cake according to directions on the back of the box (using a 9x13-inch baking dish).
- While the cake is still warm, gently poke holes in the cake using a fork.
- In a bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and sweetened coconut flakes.
- Pour this mixture over the warm cake. Some of the condensed milk should seep a bit into those holes.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter along with chocolate chips and milk.
- Stir until smooth and completely melted. Do not let this mixture come to a boil.
- Take chocolate mixture off of heat and pour on top of cake. Use the back of a spoon to help spread it out evenly.
- Then top with sliced almonds.

Notes
- To make this a bit easier to cut into, you can pop the cake in the fridge for about an hour or so to let the chocolate cool and set up a bit.
- Some folks may like this with toasted nuts on top. I prefer the raw almonds but feel free to toast them if that is your preference.
