MOUNDS® BAR CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan. Remove saucepan from heat and stir white sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the melted butter until thoroughly combined.
• Mix flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl; add butter mixture to the flour mixture and stir to form a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely.
• Beat coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and confectioners' sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer until very thick; spread over the cake in an even layer.
• Heat prepared frosting in the microwave until the frosting has a pourable consistency, about 75 seconds; pour over the cake and spread into an even layer. Refrigerate cake until the frosting is set, at least 15 minutes.

DIANE'S MOUND CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Mix cake ingredients and bake in 2 9" layer pans. 28 min. at 350* or till they spring back when touched.
• 2. Cool 10 min. in pans on wire rack then turn out to cool completely. When cool, slice each layer across center to make 4 layers.
• 3. While your cake is baking and cooling cook in a large boiler the filling ingredients except COCONUT over low heat. Double boiler works good unless you have heavy bottom pans. When your marshmellows melt add 1 pkg. of the coconut and about half of the second one. Just to thicken the filling. It needs to soak into the cake so it will be moist so don't make it too thick.
• 4. The filling will go between the layers and on top. Don't put it on the top layer till after you frost sides. Frosting will go around the sides.
• 5. Melt butter with brown sugar and cocoa. Stir in 4 T milk and beat in powdered sugar with a hand mixer or hand blender. Use 2 T more milk if you need to make spreading consistency.
• 6. Frost around the sides only. If you can bring up a small lip at top edge it will keep the filling from running over the edge when you add it last.
