Devil's Food Cake

The decadence of devil's food cake and the sweet, rich taste and slightly chewy texture of coconut make this dessert a real treat. The whipped topping lightens things up. For a quick variation, top this cake with cherry pie filling and whipped cream instead of the whipped topping.
