Ingredients

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.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your cake the best flavor and texture. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it lighter and more tender.
Gradually add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
