INSTRUCTIONS
For cake:
- In a large bowl, stir together cake mix, instant pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, oil, chocolate chips, pecans, and coconut. Batter will be thick!
- Spray a large tube pan or bundt pan with non-stick spray.
- Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Remove pan to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes, then invert the cake onto the wire rack to cool completely.
For coconut-pecan frosting:
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and eggs.
- Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a boil. Do not walk away from it – it will heat and cook quickly, and you don’t want to scramble the eggs!
- Once it comes to a boil and thickens, remove from heat, and stir in the coconut, pecans, and vanilla.
- Cool to room temperature.
- Spread on top of the cooled bundt cake.
For topping:
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter.
- Microwave on high at 30-second intervals until chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Drizzle over bundt cake.
- Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the ganache.
- Allow 10-15 minutes for topping to set. Cut and serve.
