Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup boiling water
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Toppings and Mix-ins:
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Crank your oven to a precise 350F and grab two round cake pans.
- Thoroughly coat each pan with butter and dust with flour, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- Combine 2 cups flour, 2 cups sugar, 1 cup cocoa, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Crack 2 eggs into the dry ingredients, then pour in 1 cup buttermilk, 1 cup vegetable oil, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- Whisk the mixture until smooth and free of lumps, using steady circular motions.
- Carefully add 1 cup boiling water and stir gently until the batter becomes uniform and glossy.
- Divide the batter evenly between your prepared pans, smoothing the surfaces with a spatula.
- Slide the pans into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 30-35 minutes.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick – it should emerge clean with no wet batter.
- Allow cakes to rest in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire cooling racks.
- Mix 1 cup shredded coconut, 1 cup chopped pecans, and 1 cup sweetened condensed milk in a separate bowl.
- Once cakes are completely cool, spread the coconut pecan mixture between layers and across the top.
Notes
- Greasing the pans thoroughly prevents the delicate cake from sticking and ensures easy removal.
- Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly and create a more consistent cake texture.
- When adding boiling water, mix gently to avoid overmixing and maintain the cake’s light, tender crumb.
- Toast the pecans briefly before adding to the filling to enhance their nutty flavor and add extra depth to the cake.
