Ingredients:

1 package devil's food cake mix (regular size)

1/3 cup canola oil
20 large marshmallows
1 cup sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
2 TBSPs cornstarch
3-1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup chopped almonds
1 can (16 ounces) chocolate fudge frosting

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Grease and flour two 9" round baking pans.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, buttermilk, eggs and oil; beat on low speed 30 seconds.
Beat on medium 2 minutes.
Divide batter between prepared pans.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 28-32 minutes.
Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For filling, in a large saucepan, combine marshmallows, sugar, milk and cornstarch.
Cook and stir over low heat until marshmallows are melted; increase heat to medium and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat; cool.
Refrigerate filling until cold but still spreadable, about 45 minutes.
Using a long serrated knife, cut each cake horizontally in half.

Repeat twice.
Top with remaining cake layer.
Spread fudge frosting over top and sides of cake.
Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour.
