Lush Coconut Chocolate Dream Cake

Ingredients:

• 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus required ingredients: oil, eggs, water)
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup coconut cream
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Extra shredded coconut for topping

Directions:

1. Prepare the Cake: Follow the instructions on the chocolate cake mix box to prepare the cake batter. Pour the batter into a 9×13 inch pan and bake as directed. Once baked, let the cake cool for about 10 minutes.
2. Create the Coconut Infusion: While the cake is still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake.
3. Sweetened Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and coconut cream. Pour this mixture evenly over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
4. Add Coconut: Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the cake.
5. Chocolate Drizzle: Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cake.
6. Whipped Topping: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the cake.
7. Finishing Touches: Garnish with extra shredded coconut on top.
8. Chill: Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
