Mounds Mini Cakes
These mini cakes are so good, you wont want to have just one. based on the original candy bar Mounds, These cakes are great for party's, after dinner deserts, or for just because treat.
Here i have photographed step by steps on how to put them together, i hope the photos help.
First you will need the following:
1 bag of sweetened coconut
confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar)
1 box of chocolate cake mix
(follow instructions on back of box for baking)
half to one cup of whole or 2% milk
REAL HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE SYRUP
INSTRUCTIONS:
follow instructions on cake mix box,
split the batter in half because you will want the cake to be thin, but not too thin,
use a metal or aluminum flat cake pan 13X9, put first half of batter into the pan, and the second half into the other pan. or do one batch at a time.
follow box instructions, for baking, only lower your time in the oven to about 20-22 minutes.
when cake is done pull out of oven let set for about 15 minutes cooling time, flip over on to baking boards or cooling rack,
after cooling use a round cookie cutter, and cut out mini cake rounds like in the photo below,
Once you have all your cut outs, set them aside on a baking board and set aside.
for your filling: put your bag of sweetened coconut in a bowl and set aside.
then you are going to put about 2 cups or so of confectioner's sugar and put into bowl, add milk to make cream, don't make it too thick, and not to runny. mix or beat really good, pour into bowl of coconut, and stir really well.
spoon out about a tablespoon of coconut filling on to cake rounds,
Do the same for all cake rounds, then split them in half so if you are making 12 then you should have 6 on one baking board and 6 on the other, take one half of the cake rounds and put on top of the other half like this,
add a decorative flower or something of your choosing, (sprinkles, etc.
to serve:
Take you REAL HERSHEY'S syrup, drizzle on bottom of plate and place your mini mounds cake on the plate, NOTE" If you like almond joy, you can add chopped almonds to coconut....
and walla.....
