Instructions

• 1 Prepare. Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Prep your bundt style cake for nonstick.
  Double prepping is recommended.
• 2 Dry Ingredients. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, unsweetened cocoa
  powder, and baking soda.
• 3 Wet Ingredients. Beat together one and a half cups of the softened butter with
  two cups of sugar on medium until fluffy (this can take a couple of minutes).
  Then scrape down the sides of the bowl and bump the mixer speed down to slow so
  that you can add the eggs (one at a time, beating between additions).
• 4 Milk and Flour. Measure out a cup of milk and then use a fork to mix in the
  vanilla extract before adding it to the mixing bowl. Scrape down the sides of
  the mixing bowl, and on slow speed, gradually add the flour. Mix the ingredients
  until combined.
• 5 Bake. Transfer the cake batter to your prepared cake pan and bake your cake in
  the center of the oven for an hour and fifteen minutes or until a toothpick
  comes out clean. Then let the cake cool in the pan for about ten minutes before
  transferring it to a cooling rack to fully cool so that you can frost and serve
  it.
• 6 Frosting. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the butter,
  remaining milk, egg yolks, and remaining sugar, stirring occasionally, until
  thickened (about 10-12 minutes). Remove the ingredients from the heat and stir
  in the remaining ingredients (remaining vanilla, pecans, and coconut flakes).
  Refrigerate the frosting for at least an hour to get it to an optimal
  consistency for frosting (which is why making the frosting while the cake is
  baking works best) .
• 7 Serve. This cake is best when frosted just before serving.
