And this cake is pure joy!
I just made this cake as a birthday gift to a friend that requested an Almond Joy Cake years ago! I could not find the recipe she wanted then. I wonder why!
These are the "cookbooks" I use on a daily basis. They are binders filled with magazine rip outs and computer copied recipes. Every once in awhile I go through them looking for a recipe and then find five other ones I want to make!
The recipe I did find is absolutely delicious and when I delivered it today at my bible study, four other women wanted the recipe just on the mention of the name, ALMOND JOY CAKE!
Here it is:
ALMOND JOY CAKE
1 package boxed chocolate cake mix
30 large marshmallows (no more, no less!)
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
1 14 oz. bag coconut
Frosting:
1/2 cup evaporated milk (one can works for the cake and frosting)
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup margarine
1 12 oz. bag chocolate chips
1 cup almonds, chopped
Bake cake as directed in a 9 x 13 pan (I split mine up into two 8 x 8 pans. One for you, one for me!).
Combine the evaporated milk, 30 marshmallows and the sugar in a medium saucepan and cook on medium until melted.
Add the coconut and pour all over the hot cake.
Frosting:
In a medium saucepan bring the sugar, evaporated milk and margarine to a boil and then remove from heat. Add chocolate chips. Stir until melted. Add the chopped almonds. Pour over warm cake and let sit. Serve when cooled.
It is extra yummy eaten cold out of the fridge...just saying.
I found this part funny. The original recipe says "This cake is very, very rich and should be served in the smallest serving size possible". WHAT??!! NOT!!??
Eat as much as your conscience allows because you won't be able to stop yourself!
Enjoy!!
Happy Mother's day to all the lovely Mom's!!
