Ingredients

1 box devil’s food cake mix

2 cups sugar, divided

24 large marshmallows

1½ cups milk, divided

1 (14 oz.) package shredded coconut

1 stick butter

1½ cups chocolate chips

8 almonds, for garnish

Mix and bake cake according to package directions. When making the cake in the photo, we chose to use two 9-inch round pans.
To make the topping and the filling, combine 1 cup sugar, marshmallows and 1 cup milk in medium sauce pan. Cook over low heat until marshmallows are melted. Stir in coconut (saving some for garnish) and spread half of the mixture in between the two layers and the other half on top of the warm cake.
Mix butter, 1 cup sugar and ½ cup milk in sauce pan, bring to boil and stir in chocolate chips. Spread over coconut mixture on top of the cake.
Garnish with remaining coconut and almonds, if desired.
