Chocolate Coconut Cake

A thick chocolate run glaze is smoothed over the top of the cake and runs down the sides adding character and more chocolate flavor.

This recipe may sound complicated, but trust me, it’s actually really simple!

There’s so much decadent chocolate inside this cake! The cake layers are thick, dense, light, and super moist.
