I made this cake over the weekend for my husband's birthday. Everyone loved it. I didn't get a picture of it until it was half eaten. I'm sorry about the quality of the pic...the cake is so much better than the picture!! My husband wanted the coconut and pecans in the cake batter as well as in the frosting. So you can have it your way!! I think it would be wonderful with a Caramel Frosting, too. my online cookbook: http://tx-cherokee.tripod.com/index.html

    FOR THE CAKE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 3 (9 inch) pans. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the yolks one at a time, then stir in the melted chocolate and vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir in the nuts and coconut. In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the batter, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain. Divide batter into prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
