Ingredients
• 1 box white or yellow cake mix
• ½ cup cocoa powder
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 cups chocolate chips
• 1 cup chocolate syrup
• 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed
• 2 cups shredded coconut
Instructions
Prep the cake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 baking dish.
Prepare cake mix according to package directions, then stir in cocoa powder and sugar until smooth.
Bake and poke
Pour batter into the pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top.
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
While still warm, poke holes all over the cake using a fork.
Soak with chocolate
Warm the chocolate syrup slightly and pour it evenly over the hot cake, letting it soak into the holes.
Cover and allow the cake to cool completely — for best flavor, refrigerate overnight.
Make the coconut topping
In a bowl, mix the Cool Whip and shredded coconut until well combined and fluffy.
Spread evenly over the chilled cake.
Chill and serve
Refrigerate until the topping is set. Slice, serve cold, and enjoy every creamy chocolate-coconut bite.
Rich, moist, and irresistibly creamy — this Mounds Cake is the kind of dessert everyone asks for again and again.
