Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
For the Chocolate Cake, mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Combine the two mixtures, then add hot water to thin the batter. Bake for 12-15 minutes and let it cool.
Next, for the Coconut Pecan Filling, whisk together the egg yolks, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Then add sugar and cubed butter, cooking until thickened. Stir in coconut and pecans, and cool this concoction in the refrigerator.
For the Brownie layer, line the same pan. Combine the dry and wet ingredients separately, mix them together, and bake for 20-25 minutes.
In a bowl for the Cheesecake Filling, blend cream cheese, sugar, and flour. Add sour cream, coconut extract, and eggs, then stir in chocolate chips. Pour this over the brownie layer and bake in a water bath at 300°F for 45 minutes.
For the Frosting, beat butter until light, then add melted chocolate, powdered sugar, and heavy whipping cream.
Finally, to assemble your masterpiece, layer the cheesecake with coconut filling, chocolate cake, and frosting. Decorate with mini chocolate chips and swirls of frosting. Refrigerate until firm and enjoy the anticipation!
