Chocolate Mounds Cake

[IcyMist]

Here is another cake that I would love to try, but afraid there is just too much sugar/syrup in it for me.

CHOCOLATE MOUNDS CAKE

1 pck. German chocolate cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 c. Crisco
1/2 c. vinegar
1 c. water

Mix all together and pour into 3 round cake pans. Bake 350° for 30 minutes.

FILLING:
1 c. milk
1/2 c. sugar
1 (14 oz.) bag coconut
23 large marshmallows

Mix everything but coconut. Cook mixture, stirring, til well blended and marshmallows are melted. Remove from heat and add coconut. Spread between the cooled layers.

ICING:
2 c. sugar
3 T. white Karo syrup
1/2 c. milk
3 T. cocoa

Mix all and boil 3 minutes. Remove from heat and beat til cool. Spread over top and sides of cake.

I'll be sure to try the filling and icing, icy, they sound great (by now you have figured out I have a BIG thing for coconut and marshmallow!). I'll be sure to eat lots for you, too!
