Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8x2-inch baking pan, or spray it generously with non-stick cooking spray.
-
In a small bowl, combine the sweetened flaked coconut, nuts, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir well to mix, then set aside.
-
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the baking mix, 1/4 cup sugar, the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, the egg, and milk. Beat vigorously for 30 seconds until the batter is smooth and well combined.
-
Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
-
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, then spoon the melted chocolate over the batter.
-
Use a knife to swirl the chocolate into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
-
Evenly sprinkle the coconut and sugar mixture over the top of the cake.
-
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
