My husband's father loves this.  He also eats cocoa powder out of the can, so ya know... Anyway, my mother-in-law provided this recipe.  Make and enjoy!

Mix together:

1 cup melted butter (2 sticks)

2 cup sugar

4 beaten eggs

After that add:

1/3 cup cocoa

1 1/2 cup sifted flour

After that:

Fold in 1 cup coconut and 1 cup chopped walnuts

Bake in 13"X9" greased pan at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes

While still hot, spread one jar of marshmallow creme. Allow to cool, then frost with:

1/3 cup cocoa and

1 box of powdered sugar, stirred into

1 cube melted butter and

1/3 cup milk along with

1 t. vanilla

(This is basic chocolate buttercream frosting.  It frosts cakes beautifully too!)
