Preparation

Step 1

Bake cake according to directions on the back of the box (using a 9x13 baking pan).
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 sauce pan 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.
You can also do this step in the microwave using a microwave safe bowl.

Take chocolate mixture off of heat and pour on top of cake.
You can use a spoon to help spread it out evenly.
Then top with sliced almonds.

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.
