    List of Ingredients




    1/2 C. semisweet chocolate
    1 1/4 C. butter
    2 C. sugar
    4 eggs, separated
    1 tsp. vanilla extract
    2 C. flour
    1 tsp. baking soda
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1 C. buttermilk

    Recipe



    Melt chocolate and 1/4 cup of the butter in heavy bottom pan. Let cool.

    Cream together remaining butter and sugar in medium bowl. Beat in egg yolks. Stir in vanilla extract and chocolate mixture. Sift together dry ingredients. Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk to chocolate mixture.

    Beat egg whites until stiff in large bowl. Fold in chocolate mixture. Pour cake batter evenly into the three prepared pans. Bake 30 minutes or until cake springs back. Let cool on racks.

    Frosting
    1 1/2 C. evaporated milk
    1 1/2 C. sugar
    4 egg yolks, slightly beaten
    3/4 C. butter
    1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
    2 C. coconut
    2 C. chopped pecans

    Combine evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks and butter in a saucepan. Add vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until thickened (thick enough to coat back of spoon). Remove from heat. Stir in coconut and pecans. Cool until thick enough to spread over cake.

    Place 1 cake layer on plate. Spread frosting evenly over top. Repeat with remaining layers. Spread remaining frosting evenly over sides of cake. Serve.
