Tornado Cake Recipe

 I am not a huge fan of cake, but this is downright delicious... Mrs. Smith

This cake is extremely flavorful, rich and moist. It is simple to make using a box cake mix. I used a Devil's food cake mix. The frosting is similar to pecan pralines with a coconut twist. I used walnuts, because that is what I had on hand. 

Tornado Cake

Ingredients: 

1 Box cake mix (Butter, Yellow, Chocolate, German or Devil's food)

Frosting:

1 Stick of butter

1 Cup of sugar

2/3 Cup of evaporated milk

1/2 Tsp vanilla

1/2 Tsp salt

1 Cup nuts

1 Cup sweetened coconut 

Prepare cake mix according to the directions on the box. In a medium saucepan, bring butter, sugar, evaporated milk, vanilla and salt to a boil. Add nuts and coconut to the mixture and mix well. Reduce heat to medium and boil for 5 minutes stirring frequently. Poke holes in the baked cake using the end of a wooded spoon handle or something similar. Pour cooked frosting evenly over the cake. Let cool before serving.
