This rich and chocolaty dump cake has plenty of nutty, sweet coconut flavor. Shredded coconut and pecans give texture to this easy mix-and-bake cake. It's great on its own but adding a whipped topping and toasted coconut are worth the little extra effort.

  • Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 23 to 26 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 2 hours. Cut into squares and, if desired, top with whipped cream and toasted coconut.
