Mounds Cake

My mom's birthday was earlier this week, and I wanted to do something special for her.  She goes out of her way to help so many other people!  My brother, my husband, and I collaborated to get her some new books for her Kindle: The Lifeboat: a novel by Charlotte Rogan and Lifeboat No. 8 by Elizabeth Kaye. 

We had Positano's Pizza for dinner, and I made a Mounds Cake for dessert.  I got the recipe here. 

I followed the recipe exactly with just a few changes. 

• I used Duncan Hines Butter Fudge cake mix to make the chocolate cake. 
• I used butter instead of Oleo margarine in the topping.

The marshmallow-coconut filling does not spread because it is pretty liquidy, so I just poured it all over.   I also just poured the chocolate topping all over the cake, too.  It was a major hit!  Everyone at the party loved it (and so did my team at school the next day!)
