My intentions were to make this cake from scratch but I didn’t have enough of some of the ingredients so guess what, I had a chocolate cake mix and chocolate icing and that got my mind to rolling ….
If MTV can have Pimp My Ride I can have a series called:

What do you think?
Well, I don’t believe a recipe has to be “From Scratch” to be homemade and it certainly doesn’t have to be made from scratch to be delicious and made with love. Serving this cake can get a little messy but that doesn’t matter it still tastes yummy!
My Memaw didn’t believe a cake was a “cake” unless it was a layered cake. Being the good diabetic (LOL) she was, of course she would eat it but she would make sure you know a cake needed to be in layers. Regardless if this cake is in layers or in a 9×13 pan this recipe is delicious!
By the time I finished taking photos there wasn’t much left of the cake in the plate! It is sooooo good.

So here it goes!
Sorry....I had to take a bite. My mom would make this quite a bit and it didn't last long. She would make two layers and split them into. I did it the easy way and made 3 layers, so no slicing the cake in 1/2.
Ingredients:
- 1 chocolate cake mix
- 1 chocolate icing
- 24 marshmallows
- 3/4 cup of milk
- 14 ounces of coconut
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
Instructions:
- Mix cake as directed on the box. Grease and flour 3 round cake pans and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes until done. Cool.
- Once cool, prepare filling. In a sauce pan, pour in the milk and warm slowly add the marshmallows and stir until they are completely melted. Add the coconut mixing well. Remove from the heat and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
- One the first layer cover with 1/2 of the coconut filling, Top with the second layer cover this layer with the remaining filling. Cover with the last layer of cake.
- You may want to insert toothpicks to hold the cake layers together well before icing.
- Ice top and sides with the chocolate icing.
- YUM!
Notes
You can also make this recipe in a 9x13 cake pan, top it with the coconut filling. Because it may be difficult to spread over the filling I would suggest microwaving the icing in the tub in 15 second increments, stirring between the microwaving until it is almost the consistency of hot fudge and then pour and spread on the top.

I have been using this recipe for years. Anytime I want to whip up a quick single layer cake this is the recipe I use. I use it for a quick strawberry shortcake, pineapple upside down cake and it’s great if you just want to make around 12 cupcakes.
Today my daughter was babysitting so I got the girls in the kitchen and they helped me mix this cake up. I was trying to teach them that baking is a science and Rachel said “we do science in school be we don’t bake.” Well, they were really more worried about when they were going to get the beater and the spoon once the batter was mixed. I turned on the oven light so they could watch it as it baked.

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups self rising flour
- 3/4 cups sugar
- 3/4 cups milk
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Grease and flour a 9x9 baking pan.
- Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl, beat for 2 minutes on medium speed.
- Bake 25-30 minutes until done.
