I have a really good coconut cake recipe, but I was craving chocolate, so I switched out a few ingredients. This is what I came up with. I took it to work (my co-workers are my guinea pigs) and they all loved it! I hope you do too.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you like coconut, you're going to love this chocolate coconut Bundt cake. It tastes like an almond coconut candy bar, only in cake form. The chocolate cake is decadent, rich, and incredibly moist. It's chewy and sweet from the shredded coconut. Silky smooth and creamy, the icing adds another punch of chocolate flavor. Made with sweetened condensed milk, it's a cross between a glaze and a thin frosting. We added sliced almonds and toasted coconut to decorate.

Ingredients

  • CHOCOLATE COCONUT BUNDT CAKE
  • 1 box Devils Food or chocolate cake mix
  • 1 package chocolate instant pudding mix (3.9 oz)
  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/3 cups shredded coconut
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE GLAZE
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How To Make chocolate coconut bundt cake

  • Combine cake mix, pudding mix, water, eggs, and oil.
    Step 1
    Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine cake mix, pudding mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl until blended. Beat on medium speed for 4 minutes.
  • Stir in shredded coconut and chocolate chips.
    Step 2
    Stir in coconut and chocolate chips.
  • Grease a Bundt pan and add the cake batter.
    Step 3
    Spray a Bundt pan with cooking spray, or grease and flour (or dust with cocoa). Pour batter into pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour.
    Step 4
    Bake approximately 1 hour (check with a toothpick at 50 min).
  • Let cool in the pan slightly and then turn out to a wire rack to cool completely.
    Step 5
    Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then remove from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Heat condensed milk and chocolate chips over low heat until melted.
    Step 6
    To make the glaze, combine sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips in a small saucepan. Over medium-low heat, stir constantly until the chocolate chips melt and the mixture is smooth.
  • Don't allow to boil and stir until smooth.
    Step 7
    Do not allow it to bubble.
  • Remove from the heat and all vanilla extract.
    Step 8
    Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Allow to cool for just a bit before glazing cake.
  • Add glaze to the cake and top with nuts and/or coconut.
    Step 9
    Add the glaze to the cake. You can then sprinkle the cake with coconut (I toasted mine) or nuts, or leave it plain.
