Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut
• 3/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Add milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
4. Stir in boiling water until batter is thin and smooth.
5. In a medium saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, butter, shredded coconut, chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and becomes golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
6. Pour half of the chocolate cake batter into the prepared bundt pan. Spoon coconut pecan filling over the batter, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Top with the remaining cake batter.
7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
