🍫✨ Mounds Cake ✨🍫

August 31, 2024 by BMA24

Mounds Cake is a decadent dessert inspired by the classic Mounds candy bar, featuring rich layers of moist chocolate cake, a sweet coconut filling, and a luscious chocolate ganache topping. This cake is a perfect treat for coconut and chocolate lovers alike!

πŸ“‹ Ingredients:

For the Chocolate Cake:

  • 🍫 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 🍫 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 🍫 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • πŸ₯„ 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • πŸ₯„ 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • πŸ§‚ 1 tsp salt
  • πŸ₯š 2 large eggs
  • πŸ₯› 1 cup whole milk
  • 🍢 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 🍦 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • πŸ₯€ 1 cup boiling water or hot coffee (for extra richness)

For the Coconut Filling:

  • πŸ₯₯ 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 🍯 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 🍫 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 🍫 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • πŸ₯› 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 🧈 2 tbsp unsalted butter

πŸ“ Directions:

1. Prepare the Chocolate Cake:

  • πŸ”₯ Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
  • 🍫 Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • 🍢 Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, until smooth. Stir in the boiling water or hot coffee (the batter will be thin).
  • πŸ”₯ Bake the Cake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

2. Prepare the Coconut Filling:

  • πŸ₯₯ Mix the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

3. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 🍫 Make the Ganache: In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until just beginning to simmer (do not boil). Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Allow the ganache to cool slightly until it thickens enough to spread.

4. Assemble the Mounds Cake:

  • 🍰 Layer the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread the coconut filling evenly over the top of the first layer. Place the second cake layer on top.
  • 🍫 Add the Ganache: Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Use a spatula to spread it evenly over the top and sides.

5. Serve:

  • 🍽️ Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set. Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature.

🍽 Serve:

Enjoy your rich and indulgent Mounds Cake, a perfect dessert for any occasion!
