Ingredients

2 cups flour

2 cups sugar

3/4 cup cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup boiling water

1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut

1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk

1 1/2 cups sugar

3/4 cup butter

4 egg yolks

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a large baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually stir in boiling water until the batter is fully combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a saucepan, combine evaporated milk, sugar, butter, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened (about 10 minutes).
  8. Remove the frosting from heat and stir in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans.
  9. Once the cake has baked, allow it to cool slightly before removing it from the pan onto a clean surface.
  10. Spread the frosting evenly over the cake.
  11. Carefully roll the cake into a log shape and let it set for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Nut-Free Version: Omit the pecans or substitute with dried fruits or seeds for a nut-free option.
  • Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
  • Extra Indulgence: Add whipped cream inside the roll for extra creaminess.
  • Flavor Variation: Use toasted coconut for a deeper flavor.
