Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Line bottoms of two greased 8-in. round baking pans with parchment paper; grease paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine cake mix, coconut milk, eggs and melted butter; beat on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium 1-1/2 minutes. Transfer to prepared pans. Bake and cool as package directs.
  • For frosting, in a small saucepan, combine butter, chocolate and coconut milk; heat and stir over medium heat until blended. Remove from heat; gradually stir in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Transfer to a bowl.
