Coconut Chocolate Cake image

This heavenly cake, from Elsie Shell of Topeka, Indiana, is so rich and gooey you wouldn't guess it starts with a boxed cake mix. "Although I love making cakes from scratch, mixes are so convenient," Elsie informs. "It's fun to spruce them up with goodies like coconut, almonds and chocolate chips."

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

The cake was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I might try adding some sour cream or yogurt next time to make it more moist.

The cake was easy to make, but it didn't rise as much as I expected. The flavor was good, but I think I would add a little more baking powder next time.

The cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was amazing. I might try using a different flour next time to see if that makes a difference.
