How to Make Toasted Coconut Marshmallow Cake

Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your cake mix box.
Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Cut 1 (10-ounce) bag of large marshmallows in half.
Arrange marshmallow halves, cut-side down, in an even layer across the bottom of the prepared pan.
In a separate bowl, prepare your chosen cake mix according to the package directions. Add 1 cup of toasted coconut flakes to the batter.
Gently pour the cake batter evenly over the marshmallows in the pan.
Bake for the time specified on the cake mix box, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (This will likely be around 50 minutes, but check your cake mix box for exact baking times).
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. The marshmallows will rise and toast during baking, creating a delicious, naturally sweet topping.
