Moist Coconut Pudding Cake

Submitted by Seasoned Cook

"AWESOME!! As each day goes by this pudding cake mellows and gets better. A very moist cake with a creamy custard on the bottom. This cake is lighter than it appears and would be a good after dinner dessert for guests."

Hi! I made this recipe using The Coconut Cream Pudding mix & a Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix After pouring pudding mixture over the cake I sprinkled on slivered almonds. And for the frosting I’m going to use Cream of Coconut & heavy cream My hubby loves Almond Joy candy bars. I’ve made the Almond Joy Cake & he asked me if I was trying to give him a heart attack because it was so so rich. He’s 61. I’m hoping this cake hits the spot( but not his heart). It’s in the oven now & after chilling it probably until tomorrow I’ll whip up the frosting. Fingers crossed that it tastes as good as it sounds. Thank you for the recipe.

Super delicious cake. I made whipped cream, not too sweet, and folded it into the coconut pudding. Perfect
