Okay, this recipe looks forever long! But it feels very simple when you're actually doing it. What kind of cake will you pick for your next birthday? Then I put it all into the fridge to chill, because in my house, cake will be served cold.
I baked the rich cake in 2 extra-thick layers, drizzled it with velvety smooth chocolate syrup, and stacked them together with sticky, nutty, sweet coconut pecan goodness.
