Total Time: 30 minutes
Makes: 20
1 frozen pound cake
1/2 cup grape jelly
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
4 to 5 Tbs water
1 (5 oz) bag unsweetened
shredded coconut
Cut the pound cake in half,
lengthwise. Evenly spread
the jelly on one-half of the
pound cake, and top it with
the other half. Cut the cake
into 11/2-inch cubed pieces.
Combine the powdered sugar,
cocoa powder and water
in a bowl. Stir to combine.
The consistency should be
thick, but slightly runny. Add
another tablespoon of water
or powdered sugar to thin or
thicken it.
Spread the coconut on a plate.
Dip the cake cubes into the
chocolate mixture, and then
roll in the coconut. Set on a
baking sheet lined with wax
paper, and allow the coating
to harden or dry.
