- 1/2 cup whole milk

- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Add milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
-
Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. It will be thin, but that’s okay.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the cake is baking, prepare the coconut pecan frosting. In a saucepan, combine shredded coconut, chopped pecans, evaporated milk, sugar, butter, egg yolks, and vanilla extract.
-
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a low boil. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
-
Once the cake has cooled, spread the coconut pecan frosting evenly over the top.
-
Serve and enjoy!
