Filling: 1 cup sugar 1 cup evaporated milk 1/2 cup butter or marg 3 eggs yolks, beaten 1 1/3 cups flaked coconut 1 cup chopped pecans 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Icing: 1/2 teaspoon shortening 1 square (1 oz) semisweet chocolate
In a saucepan, heat water and chocolate until melted, cool. In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time. Blend in melted chocolate and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Beat until smooth. In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into batter. Pour into three greased 9 inch round baking pans lined with greased waxed paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the centre comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes;remove from pans to wire racks. Carefully remove paper. For filling, combine sugar, milk, butter and egg yolks in a saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in coconut, pecans, and vanilla. Cool until thick enough to spread. Spread on top of each cake layer; stack on a serving plate. For icing, melt shortening and chocolate; drizzle down sides of cake.
