Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cake

Submitted by Dee514

"I found this recipe about 25 years ago in a magazine. I realize it isn't a "from scratch" recipe, but sometimes you want something a bit out of the ordinary even though you are pressed for time. Its been a very popular dessert with my family for picnics, BBQ's, etc. and always a success at bake sales. It tastes like those chocolate covered coconut candy bars :)"

Thank you, I have been searching for this. Have a friend that insisted on a chocolate bundt cake for her birthday. Made her day:)

Thank you. I made this cake for a coffee party and it was a hit with everyone. I used a chocolate glaze which was also well liked. It was very easy and quick to make. The chocolate cake is nicely moist.

I'm going to make this...My mother used to make one like this from a box mix in the 80's....I can't wait to try it. ? In the filling could you add a tbsp of sweetened condensed milk to make it more yummy??

I loved the coconut center and it does taste like a "Mounds" chocolate bar. I did have a problem with getting the egg whites to form stiff peaks so one little suggestion would be to change the directions to say "mix the egg whites in a GLASS bowl". When the egg whites would not firm up I went to Community Cafe to ask why and the helpful chefs there figured that it was my plastic bowl that was preventing the whites from becoming stiff. So I tried again using a glass bowl and voila, beautiful peaked egg whites. Who would've thought? You have to love the Chefs on Zaar, they are so willing to help! Thx for a great recipe Dee I will make this again.
