Tastes like Mounds Cake image

My granddaughter just had a birthday and I asked what kind of cake she wanted. She said dark chocolate with coconut frosting. I looked around and really didn't care for what I was finding so this is what I came up with. My family really liked this.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 box(es) dark chocolate cake mix
FROSTING
8 ounce(s) cream cheese
3 1/2 cup(s) powdered sugar
4 tablespoon(s) coco lopez (found in the drink mixer section)
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
1 cup(s) coconut, shredded

1/2 cup(s) whipping cream
1 cup(s) semi sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla

Steps:

  • Mix and bake the cake mix in 2 - 8" round pans according to the manufacturors directions. Remove from pans and cool.
  • Beat softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add powdered sugar. Add vanilla and coco lopez and mix until creamy. Add coconut. Frost the cake with this coconut frosting.
  • Heat the cream until almost boiling. Put the chocolate chips in a bowl and pour the heated cream over the chips. Beat with a whisk until smooth. Add vanilla and allow to cool slightly. This will begin to thicken a little. Pour over the frosted cake and allow to run over the sides. Garnish with the additional coconut.
