Ingredients

Butter, for baking dish
All-purpose flour, for baking dish
1 box Devil's food cake mix, plus ingredients called for on box
1 10-oz. jar caramel, plus more for drizzling
3 Tbsp. heavy cream
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
1 cup melted chocolate chips

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 325°. Butter and flour a 9"-x-13" baking dish. Prepare chocolate cake mix according to box instructions. Pour into prepared baking dish and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 26 to 28 minutes.
2. Step 2Let cake cool 15 minutes, then use the tip of a wooden spoon to gently poke holes all over cake.
3. Step 3In a small saucepan, combine caramel and heavy cream. Heat over low, stirring, until completely combined and warmed through.
4. Step 4Pour all over cake, making sure caramel seeps into poke holes.
5. Step 5Top with a full layer of toasted coconut, then drizzle with melted chocolate (stir in a couple drops of vegetable oil if too thick to drizzle) and more caramel.
6. Step 6Let stand 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
