Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1.5 cups sweetened shredded coconut
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan thoroughly with butter or nonstick spray. Lightly dust with flour to ensure the cake releases easily.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4

Slowly stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this ensures a moist cake. Set the batter aside.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy. Fold in the shredded coconut to create the coconut filling.

Step 6

Pour half of the chocolate cake batter into the prepared bundt pan. Spoon the coconut filling evenly over the batter, being careful not to let it touch the edges of the pan. Pour the remaining batter on top, ensuring the coconut filling is fully covered.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the chocolate portion comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.

Step 9

For the chocolate glaze, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter together in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 10

Drizzle the chocolate glaze over the cooled cake, letting it cascade down the sides for a dramatic effect.

Step 11

Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy!
