Ingredients:





     1    Chocolate pudding cake mix;


          -Prepared as





----------------------------------FILLING----------------------------------


     1 c  Undiluted Pet evaporated


          -milk; (see note)


     1 c  Sugar


    24 lg Marshmallows


    14 oz Coconut



----------------------------------FROSTING----------------------------------


 1 1/2    Sticks margarine


   1/2 c  Undiluted Pet evaporated


          -milk; (see note)


 1 1/2 c  Chocolate chips


     1 c  Nuts; optional





 NOTE Regarding Pet evaporated milk: PET is a brand of evaporated milk. I


 use other brands with equal success in this cake. For those of you who do


 not have access to the chocolate pudding cake mixes, any moist chocolate


 cake baked from scratch will work equally well.


 


 CAKE--Prepare cake mix as directed and bake.


 


 FILLING--Heat 1 cup milk, sugar, and marshmallows until melted; add


 coconut. While cake is hot, cover completely with filling. Let set while


 preparing frosting.


 


 FROSTING--In saucepan heat 1 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup milk and margarine


 until it starts to boil; add chocolate chips. Stir until melted; add nuts,


 if desired. Pour over cake.


 


 >From Carole: This is a tried and true cake and very rich. I bake the cake


 in a 9X13 sheet cake pan. Make sure the pan is deep enough to hold all


 three layers. After frosting the cake, I place almonds over the cake,


 insuring that when cut, each serving includes an almond. You can use either


 slivered or whole. It really does taste like an almond joy! I found this


 recipe in the Oklahoma Christian College Women's Association of OKC 1985


 Cookbook. Enjoy!
