Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix, any type you prefer (plus the ingredients called for to make it)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 30 large marshmallows
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 14 oz. bag of shredded, sweetened coconut
- Chocolate Ganache Frosting
- 12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 Tbs. butter
Preparation
Step 1
Bake the cake according to package directions. Cool completely and then slice each layer in half to make a 4 layer cake
Place the milk and sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium heat and heat until sugar is dissolved. Add the marshmallows, coconut, and vanilla. Cook until it boils stirring frequently.
Spread the mixture between the layers and stack the cake on a cake plate.
For the ganache frosting, heat the cream just to a simmer in a saucepan or in the microwave.
Place the chocolate chips in a glass heatproof bowl. Pour the cream over the chips and allow them to soften. Whisk in the butter until it's nice and smooth. If it's too thick add another tablespoon of butter. It should be a good consistency, not too thin, but not too thick.
