Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.

Preheat the Oven

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Mix Wet Ingredients

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.

Combine Mixtures

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Bake the Cake

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the shredded coconut, chopped pecans, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and vanilla extract. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5-10 minutes.

Make the Frosting

Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top of one cake layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.
