For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips in the glaze. Toasted almonds add a delightful crunch to the topping. Toast the almonds lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the glaze. If you don't have evaporated milk, you can substitute it with half-and-half, although the result will be slightly less rich. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch cake pan with cooking spray. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, eggs, and oil. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03
StepBake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 26 to 31 minutes. (Bake time: 26-31 minutes)
04
StepWhile the cake is baking, combine the marshmallows, 1 cup of evaporated milk, and 1 cup of sugar in a large pot. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until the marshmallows are melted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shredded coconut; pour the mixture evenly over the hot cake. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
05
StepIn a saucepan, combine the remaining ½ cup of evaporated milk, the remaining ½ cup of sugar, and the butter. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and fold in the chocolate chips and almonds. Spread the chocolate-almond mixture evenly over the coconut layer. (Prep time: 8 minutes)
06
StepAllow the cake to cool completely until the coconut and chocolate layers are set, about 30 minutes, before serving. (Cool time: 30 minutes)
