Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 Egg
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder
• ¹⁄₂ cup Boiling water
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoon Milk
• 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup Chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4. Divide the batter in half. In one half, stir in the cocoa powder and boiling water until smooth. Pour the chocolate batter into the prepared cake pan.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to make the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with shredded coconut and chopped walnuts.
7. Allow the glaze to set for about 1 hour before serving.
