Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 pkg Devil’s Food Cake Mix
  • Chocolate frosting (Recipe can be found on page 247.)

Method

Foil line 15” x 10” jelly roll pan. Melt butter in a pan, then sprinkle evenly with nuts and coconut; drizzle condensed milk on top. In separate bowl, beat eggs at highest speed until thick and lemon colored, about 5 min. At lowest speed, gradually blend in water.

Add cake mix; blend 1 minute. Pour batter over condensed milk; spread evenly with spatula. Bake at 350º for 25 minutes.

To make log:

Lightly sprinkle one large, clean cloth with powdered sugar. Remove cake from oven. Cover with towel and invert immediately.

Remove pan and foil from cake. Starting from shorter side, roll up with filling inside (not towel).

Wrap towel around rolled cake until cool. Frost with chocolate frosting. Comb frosting with fork to make log appearance. Garnish with green mint candy.
