Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar mixed in)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Coconut-Pecan Frosting

• 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup evaporated milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large egg yolks

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
3. In another bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla, mixing until combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. For the frosting, combine the coconut, pecans, evaporated milk, sugar, butter, and egg yolks in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
8. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the coconut-pecan frosting over the top, allowing it to spill down the sides.
