Category: Cakes from Cake Mixes

Cake
1 box yellow cake mix
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 eggs
1/4 cup coconut and chopped nuts
1 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted

Filling
1/2 cup coconut, chopped nuts and packed brown sugar
2 tbsp flour
2 tsp cinnamon

Glaze
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 tbsp butter, softened
2-3 tbsp milk

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a tube pan or bundt pan. In a large bowl, combine first 3 ingredients for cake on low speed until moistened; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in nuts and coconut. With a spoon, marble the melted chocolate in the cake mix and pour about 2 cups into prepared pan.

In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients, reserving 1/2 cup filling. Sprinkle remaining filling over the batter in the pan. Cover with remaining batter; sprinkle with 1/2 cup reserved filling. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cool pan upright for 30 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely.

In a small bowl, blend glaze ingredients until smooth, adding enough milk for desired drizzling consistency.
