"Chocolate, Almond, & Coconut make up this 2 layer cake. One layers is the coconut layer and the other is chocolate almond. This is made for a crowd. You can make the whole cake or just each layer. If baking both cakes at once be sure to rotate them in the oven for even baking."

Love this recipe !!! Looking for a new cake for Hubbys bday. Didn't have the liqueur or rum. But it is still good. I used almond flavor and coconut flavor instead. So moist and yummy. Thank you

My neighbor is always helping someone, mowing an elderly couples lawn, shoveling the sidewalks to metion a little, Wanted to do something nice for his birthday. He always seems to have an almond joy bar in hand. So all the neigbors got together and we planned a suprise BBQ for him. We had a T shirt made with the almond joy bar on it. I made this cake and decorated with mini almond joy bars. Thanks for sharing.

I made this for my BIL's birthday and it got good reviews from everyone. The frosting is fantastic and there was plenty to frost the cake with. It did take me longer to make than indicated, but I am a pretty slow cook sometimes as well as doing things in between. The cake itself was very moist, a little denser than others I made, but it fit with the flavor and frosting. I am now the favorite SIL!!! Thanks Rita!
