Chocolate Coconut Mounds Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 9-inch cake pans with nonstick spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
• Sprinkle half of the shredded coconut on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until golden brown, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.
• Combine the instant espresso and water in a measuring cup; stir until dissolved. Add to a medium bowl, along with the cake mix, vegetable oil and eggs. Beat for 2 minutes with a handheld mixer on medium speed. Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto a baking rack and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese, butter, coconut milk, salt and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Beat with a handheld mixer on medium speed until light, fluffy and smooth, about 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining (untoasted) coconut with a rubber spatula.
• If the cakes have domed in the center, trim to level the tops. Place one cake layer, up-side down, on a platter or plate. Spoon one-third of the frosting on top and spread evenly, almost completely to the edge. Place the other layer, up-side down, on top, pressing gently to anchor. Using an offset spatula, evenly frost the entire cake; if the frosting gets too soft, place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Gently press the toasted coconut around the outside of the cake and sprinkle it over the top.
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Grease and flour a 10" bundt pan.
• Filling: In a small bowl, beat egg whites till foamy.
• Slowly add sugar while beating whites until stiff peaks form.
• Stir in flour and coconut and set mixture aside.
• Cake batter: In a large bowl, mix remaining ingredients.
• Beat for 2 minutes with mixer at medium speed.
• Pour about 1/3 to 1/2 of the batter into the pan.
• Spoon the coconut mixture evenly on top of the batter.
• Fill the pan with the remaining batter.
• Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes, or until cake tester inserted into center comes out clean.
• Let cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, remove from pan and finish cooling on rack.
• When cool, top with glaze.
• Confectioner's Sugar Glaze: In a small bowl, gradually stir milk into sugar, glaze should be thick enough to stay on the top of the cake, yet"drip" down the sides a bit.

Steps:

• Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; line bottom and 2 long sides with parchment, leaving an overhang. Butter parchment, and dust with cocoa powder. Whisk together cocoa powder, flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Gather flour mixture into a mound, and create a well in center. Pour eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil, and vanilla into well, and whisk until thoroughly combined and smooth. Pour batter into dish, and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Bake until set and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
• Topping: Meanwhile, melt butter for topping in a small saucepan. Combine confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, and coconut in a large bowl. Stir coffee and vanilla into butter, and pour over coconut mixture. Stir to combine, and immediately spread evenly over warm cake. Let cool completely on wire rack.
• To serve, use parchment to transfer cake to a cutting board. Cut into thirds lengthwise, then cut into quarters crosswise (you should have 12 pieces). Serve with whipped cream and toasted coconut.

Steps:

• 1) Mix cake mix, 1/3 cup of oil, and eggs together. I use my hands.
• 2) Slowly add the coconut flakes a little at a time continuing to mix the dough by hand.
• 3) The dough will be thick and sticky, if it is too thick, you can add one more TBSP of oil.
• 4) Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• 5) Roll dough into small balls and drop onto parchment paper.
• 6) Press the balls down firmly with your hand. If the dough balls are not pressed down, the cookie will not cook properly. They did not spread out evenly on their own.
• 7) Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes.
• 8) Since ovens vary, you may want to keep an eye on your first batch. The cookies should cook to a light golden color.
• 9) Place cookies on a cooling rack immediately once they are cooked and allow them to cool for about ten minutes.
• 10) Once the cookies have cooled, melt one of the German's Sweet Chocolate bars by breaking it in half and microwaving it for 60 seconds and then stiring it with a spoon to get it smooth.
• 11) Dip the top portion of the cookie into the chocolate and place the cookie on wax paper to allow the chocolate to dry.
• 12) One chocolate bar should cover about 12 small cookies really well.
• 13) I made 36 small size cookies or 24 medium cookies, but you could adjust for size if you like.
• 14) If the chocolate is not getting hard you can place the cookies in the fridge, or even in the freezer for just a few minutes.
• 15) Please rate and review this recipe if you make it. Even if you don't like it or made changes. I would love the feedback and keep hearing about people who are making this recipe, but no one is rating it. I would love to hear from you!
