Time 45m

Yield 1 Cake, 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 ounces chocolate cake mix
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
1/4 cup rum
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup flaked coconut, toasted
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
chocolate syrup (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare and bake cake mix according to package directions, using a 13x9-in. baking pan. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk milks, 1/2 cup cream and rum. With a wooden skewer, poke holes in cake about 1/2 inches apart. Slowly pour milk mixture over cake, allowing mixture to absorb into cake. Let stand 30 minutes. Refrigerate, covered, 8 hours or overnight.
  • In a small bowl, beat remaining cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Spread over top of cake. Sprinkle with coconut and pecans. If desired, drizzle servings with chocolate syrup.
