Almond Joy Cake

My 12-year-old granddaughter, Annalise, made this Almond Joy cake for a church party and won the contest for best dessert. It is more yummy than the candy bar it is named after!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

  • cooking spray

  • 1 package chocolate cake mix (such as Duncan Hines)

  • 1 cup water

  • 3 eggs

  • cup vegetable oil

  • 1 1/2 cups evaporated milk, divided

  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar, divided

  • 26 large marshmallows

  • 1 (14 ounce) bag shredded coconut

  • ½ cup unsalted butter

  • 1 cup chocolate chips

  • ½ cup whole almonds

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch cake pan with cooking spray.

  2. Combine cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 26 to 31 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, combine 1 cup evaporated milk, 1 cup sugar, and marshmallows in a large pot; cook and stir over medium-low heat until marshmallows are melted, about 5 minutes. Stir in coconut; pour over hot cake.

  5. Combine remaining 1/2 cup evaporated milk, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Fold in chocolate chips and almonds; spread over coconut layer.

  6. Cool cake until coconut and chocolate layers are set, about 30 minutes.
