Best Cake Ever

[Getiton1]

I love to bake and this cake sounds wonderful! You are amazing Burbuja! You are in the middle of a huge move and you still find time to bake : ) Can't wait to try out your recipe Thanks again -T

Ok, so this is random and REALLY off topic, but I never bake. However, when I do... I make the most AMAZING cakes ever! I just thought of this one for my mother-in-law's birthday and everyone said it was the best cake they'd ever had. I could tell that it was true when there was none left over and people were scraping the kid's plates! We have a big crowd to feed and they usually love all cakes, but I've never seen a reaction like this to any cake ever!

Anyhow the idea I had was to combine a 3 leches cake with a mounds candy bar. It's a super-moist 3 leches cake filled with amazing coconutty goodness and tons of rich, dark chocolate.

Step one: Baked 2 round white cakes, except instead of using vegetable oil, I melted coconut oil to give a slight coconut flavor
Step two: (This is the "3 leches" part) Mixed half a can of sweetened condensed milk with half a can of coconut milk. Poked one of the cakes with a fork and poured the mixture in. Soaked in fridge overnight
Step three: The next day, I created the filling, which was a bag of mounds candy bars chopped and mixed with dark chocolate frosting and mixed with a few tablespoons of melted coconut oil
Step four: Put the filling on top of the soaked cake, then put the other round cake on top
Step five: Frosted the entire cake with dark chocolate frosting, sprinkled with coconut, and garnished with mounds candy pieces.

Make sure to keep this one refrigerated due to the milk.. and yes, I know that this is technically only a 2 leches cake.

For anyone who likes chocolate & coconut, it will be the best cake of your life... just don't leave out the leches.. that is what makes the cake so moist!


P.S. I learned how to bake in Mexico, so the only type of cake I will ever make is some version of 3 leches lol
