Ingredients

• For the Chocolate Cake:
• 2 cup granulated sugar
• 1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup oil (vegetable or canola oil)
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• For the Coconut Frosting:
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3 large egg yolks
• 3/4 cup evaporated milk
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
• For the Chocolate Frosting:

• 3 cup powdered sugar
• 1/3 cup evaporated milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Grease two 8 or 9-inch round baking pans. I like to cut a round piece of wax or parchment paper for the bottom of the pan also, to make sure the cake comes out easily.
