How to Make Mounds Cake
- Prepare your favorite chocolate cake mix according to package directions. Pour batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan.
- **Prepare the Coconut-Marshmallow Filling:** In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine 1 cup mini marshmallows, 1/4 cup milk, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir constantly until marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut. Pour this mixture evenly over the cooled chocolate cake layer.
- **Prepare the Chocolate Ganache Frosting:** In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup milk, and 2 tablespoons butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly before spreading evenly over the coconut-marshmallow filling.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set before slicing and serving.
