Steps:
- This recipe is simple, it just takes a lot of ingredients and mixing/sitting around time to complete. Pop in a movie while making the cake to help pass the time.
- This recipe can easily be made for those who do not consume dairy by making sure the frosting and cake mix you use do not contain dairy. Which is easily done, I being dairy intolerant myself.
- And lastly, this cake is for fun. It is for the nerd in all of us that just wants to sit down with a bunch of friends, and eat. This cake is perfect for that. Heck, you could all bring food and call it a Lies and Deceit Pot Luck, and LAN your way through the meal!
- Warning to the wise: this cake is VERY rich. Don't cut it into eight slices, cut it into sixteen. Regular sized slices will just make people sick to their stomachs because of how rich this cake is. So do eat carefully.
- The night before, mix 2/3c cocoa powder with 1.5 cans of vanilla frosting. Save the remaining half can of vanilla frosting for later.
- Next day: remove mixed frosting and vanilla frosting from the fridge and set to the side. Also place the cherries and chocolate chips to the side. They will not be used until the cake is completely done.
- Pre-heat over to 375 degrees F.
- Lightly butter two 9 inch cake pans.
- In one bowl combine all remaining dry ingredients.
- In larger bowl, combine all liquid ingredients and egg whites. Mix thoroughly.
- Slowly sift dry ingredients into the large bowl of liquid ingredients. Mix thoroughly.
- Pour half of the batter into one prepared cake pan, and the rest into the second cake pan.
- Cook for 30+ minutes, until a knife can be removed cleanly from the cake.
- When done cooking, allow the cake to cool for at least one hour.
- Remove top quarter inch from one cake round. Basically, let it have a completely flat top so that the second layer can rest smoothly on top. I suggest using a bread knife.
- Use the coconut frosting as the inner layer.
- Place second layer on top of first layer.
- Frost with the cocoa powder mixed frosting. Warning: this stuff is stiff, so it takes a little work.
- Coat entire cake with chocolate chips, press them lightly into the frosting to get them to stay. The recipe suggests one cup, I would suggest just taking from the bag. Measurements are just suggestions for chocolate chips.
- Using the remaining vanilla frosting and a tablespoon, dallop eight circles around the top of the cake.
- Place the eight cherries on top of the eight vanilla frosting circles.
- Treat your friends to a meal of Lies and Deceit. ^.^.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat two nine-inch circular cake pans with butter or margarine. 2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix and remaining dry ingredients and until well-mixed. 3. In a second large bowl combine remaining cake ingredients and until well-mixed. 4. While mixing, pour wet mixture into dry mix bowl until well combined. 5. Pour half of mixture into each of the two greased cake pans. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick stuck into cakes comes out completely clean. 6. Let cakes cool for at least half an hour then trim top of one of cake to make a flat top. 7. Ice top of cut-off cake with coconut pecan frosting. Place second cake on top of first to create a layer. Add some extra cocoa powder to vanilla frosting and use to frost entire cake. 8. Chill in the fridge and serve. For added authenticity coat entire cake in chocolate chips or shards, add six dollops of white vanilla frosting to top of cake with cherries on each dollop, and light up a single candle for the center. Note: I use the chocolate chips and cocoa powder as part of the cake mix when I make this but I believe that they might actually be intended to be used as decoration. Regardless I love the way the cake is with the extra chocolaty-ness.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of cooking.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. This is especially important for fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
- Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings in a recipe to your own taste. Start with a small amount and add more until you reach the desired flavor.
- Don't Overcook: Overcooking can ruin the texture and flavor of food. Cook meats, fish, and vegetables until they are just done, but not overcooked.
- Use High-Quality Olive Oil: Olive oil is a versatile cooking oil with a delicious flavor. Choose a high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best results.
- Don't Crowd the Pan: When cooking in a pan, don't overcrowd it with food. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and can lead to steaming rather than frying.
- Use a Sharp Knife: A sharp knife is essential for preparing food. It will make chopping, slicing, and dicing much easier and safer.
- Clean as You Go: As you cook, clean up as you go. This will help keep your kitchen tidy and prevent messes from building up.
- Have Fun!: Cooking should be enjoyable! Relax, experiment, and have fun in the kitchen.

Cooking is a rewarding experience that can bring joy to your life and the lives of your loved ones. With a little practice, you can master the basics of cooking and create delicious meals that everyone will enjoy. So get in the kitchen and start cooking!
