3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups flaked coconut - divided use

1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 cup (3 ounces) sliced almonds
1 cup (6 ounces) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® SWIRLED™ Milk Chocolate & Caramel Morsels

FOR CAKE:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour 13 x 9-inch baking pan.

FOR CARAMEL-ALMOND TOPPING:
While cake is baking, prepare topping. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in caramel topping and cream. Stir in almonds and remaining coconut. Increase heat to medium and bring mixture to a full boil. Boil for 5 minutes or until thick but still spreading consistency, stirring constantly. Carefully spread mixture over cake just as it comes out of oven. Sprinkle morsels over cake while still hot out of the oven. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
