ALMOND JOY CAKE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Bake cake according to directions on the back of the box (using a 9x13 baking pan). While the cake is still warm, gently poke holes in the cake using a fork. In a bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and sweetened coconut flakes. Pour this mixture over the warm cake. Some of the condensed milk should seep a bit into those holes. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter along with chocolate chips and milk. Stir until smooth and completely melted. Do not let this mixture come to a boil. You can also do this step in the microwave using a microwave safe bowl. Take chocolate mixture off of heat and pour on top of cake. You can use a spoon to help spread it out evenly. Then top with sliced almonds. To make this a bit easier to cut into, you can pop the cake in the fridge for about an hour or so to let the chocolate cool and set up a bit. It's not the neatest cake to slice into but the taste is incredible! Cook's Notes: Some folks may like this with toasted nuts on top. I prefer the raw almonds but feel free to toast them if that is your preference.
