There are many recipes here for this, but my mom's seems to be just a bit different. I had to post for her. I have made this often but I must confess I do not eat it because I don't like coconut (good diet dish - for me at least - to bring to pot luck) - people who will eat coconut always rave about this. Ingredients:
1 cup margarine |
2 cups sugar |
2 tablespoons cocoa |
4 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 1/2 cups flour |
1 1/3 cups shredded coconut |
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans or 1 1/2 cups other nuts |
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme |
1 (16 ounce) box powdered sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 cup milnot condensed milk |
1/3 cup cocoa |
1/2 cup margarine |
Directions:
1. For Cake: Cream together margarine, sugar and cocoa.
2. Add 4 eggs and vanilla; mix well.
3. Add flour, coconut, chopped nuts and beat 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Bake 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes.
5. While still hot, spread a jar of marshmallow creme over cake.
6. For Icing: Mix together all ingredients for icing and spread over cake.
