Time 1h25m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 19

cooking spray
4 (1 ounce) squares sweet baking chocolate (such as Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate®), broken into pieces
½ cup water
4 large eggs, separated, divided
2 cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
Coconut-Pecan Frosting:
2 cups evaporated milk
2 cups white sugar
½ cup butter
6 egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
2 cups chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 11x17-inch sheet pan with cooking spray.
  • Place chocolate and water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and continue cooking until chocolate is almost melted, about 30 seconds longer. Remove from microwave and stir until chocolate is completely melted.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form.
  • Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add egg yolks to the sugar mixture, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in melted chocolate and vanilla extract.
  • Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture to sugar-butter mixture alternating with buttermilk, beating batter until well blended after each addition. Add egg whites and stir gently until incorporated. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 28 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
  • While cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. Combine evaporated milk, sugar, butter, egg yolks, and vanilla extract in a large saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in coconut and pecans. Mix the frosting until cooled but still spreadable. Spread on top of cooled cake.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured, prepped, and utensils are ready. This ensures a smooth and efficient baking process.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring eggs, butter, and milk to room temperature before mixing. This allows them to blend more evenly and create a smoother batter.
  • Mixing Method: Follow the recipe's instructions for mixing the batter. Overmixing can result in a dense cake, so mix only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Baking Time and Temperature: Preheat the oven to the specified temperature before placing the cake pan inside. Baking times may vary depending on the oven, so keep an eye on the cake to prevent overbaking.
  • Cooling the Cake: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before frosting. This helps prevent the cake from crumbling when slicing.
  • Frosting Consistency: Make sure the frosting is at the right consistency. If it's too stiff, it will be difficult to spread, and if it's too runny, it won't hold its shape.
  • Decorating: Use your creativity to decorate the cake. Consider adding sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or chopped nuts for a visually appealing touch.
