Ingredients
  

  • For the Cake:
  • 1 box Devil’s Food Cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • For the Coconut Filling:
  • 14 oz 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 14 oz sweetened shredded coconut 🥥
  • For the Chocolate Ganache:
  • 12 oz semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Cake:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the Devil’s Food Cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Beat until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the Coconut Filling:
  • In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and shredded coconut. Stir until the mixture is warm and well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Assemble the Cake:
  • Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the coconut filling evenly over the top.
  • Place the second cake layer on top of the coconut filling.
  • Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
  • In a heatproof bowl, place the semisweet chocolate chips.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  • Finish the Cake:
  • Pour the chocolate ganache over the assembled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  • Let the ganache set before serving.
