Diane's Almond Joy Cake

Ingredients :

CAKE

1 box duncan hines coconut supreme cake mix

3 large eggs

1 stick butter, melted

1 1/3 c milk

2 tsp pure vanilla avor

FROSTING

2 c toasted aked

coconut

1 1/2 c toasted sliced almonds

1 stick soft butter

2/3 c cocoa, unsweetened

3 c powdered sugar, plus additional if needed

1/3 c milk, plus additional if needed

1/4 tsp salt

2 tsp pure vanilla avor

Directions :

FOR CAKE:

1- Mix all cake ingredients in large bowl and beat 2-3 min.

2- NOTE: if you can't find the duncan hines coconut cake mix try this; use a white or yellow cake and

add a coconut pudding mix and 2-3 teaspoons of coconut extract. That has worked for several bakers

posted in the comments. Good luck to all.

3- Pour into 2 9 inch layer pans and bake in 350* preheated oven for 28 minutes. Remove to wire rack

and cool 10 min. Turn out onto wire racks and cool completely.

FOR FROSTING:

4- Beat soft butter and cocoa till soft and well combined, add milk, sugar, salt and

vanilla. Beat 2 min until light and uy.

(Add additional sugar 1 tablespoon at a time - if needed - until

5- it reached spreding consistency. Do the same with milk if it's too thick.)

In two small pans spread your coconut and nuts and, stirring often, toast to a pretty light brown

color. They will need watching as they will burn quickly.

6- I do this as soon as I take my layers from the oven.

7- Place one layer on a pretty plate and spread a cup (more or less) of your frosting. Sprinkle coconut

and almonds generously. Use most of the coconut and half the almonds.

8- Put on next layer and frost top and sides with remaining frosting. Sprinkle coconut around the top

edge and along bottom. Sprinkle remaining nuts inside coconut circle on top. Whatever is pleasing to you
