Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

For cake
1 2/3 cups sugar
2/3 cup solid vegetable shortening
3 large eggs
2 large egg whites
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups self-rising flour
For frosting
1 5-ounce can evaporated milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
3 large egg yolks, beaten to blend
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups flaked sweetened coconut
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Make cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and vegetable shortening in large bowl to blend. Beat in eggs and egg whites, then milk and vanilla extract. Add flour and beat just until blended. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool cake in pan.
  • Make frosting:
  • Combine first 6 ingredients in heavy large saucepan. Whisk constantly over medium-low heat until butter melts and mixture thickens (do not boil), about 10 minutes. Stir in pecans and coconut. Cool until frosting is thick enough to spread but is still warm, about 40 minutes.
  • Spread warm frosting over cake in pan. Let cool completely. Sprinkle chocolate chips over cake, pressing gently to adhere. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)

This cake was a disaster. It was dry, crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed this cake. The frosting was so rich and creamy, and the coconut flavor was subtle but still noticeable.
