Chocolate & Coconut Cream Torte image

My grandmother passed this recipe down to me years ago and now I make it for my own grandchildren. When preparing, make sure the chocolate layer is properly chilled before adding the next layer, or the coconut will sink into it. -Jason Purkey, Ocean City, Maryland
