Almond Joy Cake Recipe
Almond Joy Cake W/Coconut Frosting
I have always loved Almond Joy Candy Bars! Remember, Almond Joy has nuts, Mounds don’t. Because, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t!
Well, for this Almond Joy Cake Recipe, you need to feel like a nut! We are using Almonds and decorating with Almond Joy candy Bars and sweetened coconut! Yes, my kind of cake, nutty and sweet! This is one of those cakes that a big cup of coffee will go a long way with. Yes, you can drink milk with it and it taste wonderful but coffee and these flavors just go together like two peas in a pod!
Almond Joy has long been one of my favorite candy bars as it has coconut and nuts in it. The primary reason though is it is a chocolate covered candy bar! I love anything chocolate! Milk chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate, etc.. I just love chocolate! I guess that is why this cake is so appealing to me!
