This recipe is way up there on my list of favorite cakes. Like- top three for sure. What really makes it is the frosting. It is kindof caramelized and chewy, and absolutely divine. Hope you enjoy it!
Ingredients (Cake):
2 C sugar
3 eggs
1/2 C oil
3 Tbsp cocoa
1/2 C milk
2 C flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 C hot water
Beat together sugar, eggs, oil, and cocoa. Add milk, flour, soda, vanilla, and salt. Once that is mixed in, add the hot water. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan and cook at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes.
Ingredients (Frosting):
1/4 C milk
1/2 C brown sugar
1 C coconut
3/4 C butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 C nuts (traditionally pecans)
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Boil for a few minutes, then pour over a warm cake. It will be pretty runny. Just spread it out as evenly as you can. Broil it in the oven until it's starting to blacken on the tips. Delicious!

Mmmm, I remember you made this for us once when you were in Boise. I still have the topping recipe in my book, now I have the cake too!
I love how you show the half eaten piece. I want the other half!
