Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
• 1 Package Yellow Cake Mix (I used Duncan Hines, but it won’t matter as long as the mix takes a cup of
water)
• Any ingredients needed on the cake package directions, except for one cup of water
• 1 cup Coconut Rum
• 1 cup flaked coconut (use unsweetened coconut. If you are able to get a fresh coconut and grate it in a food processor, it is the best.)
• ½ cup chopped almonds

For the drizzle:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• Water @ 1.5 T
• 1 t good Vanilla (invest in the real thing)

Add coconut and almonds

Stir well

Bake 14-16 minutes. I use a convection oven, so recommend that you keep an eye on the timing based on your oven.

Drizzle Directions:

Personal Notes:

These are Brad's favorite dessert.
