*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Melt chocolate and 1/4 cup of butter in heavy bottom pan. Let cool. Cream together remaining butter and sugar in medium bowl. Beat in egg yolks. Stir in vanilla and chocolate mixture. Sift together dry ingredients. Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk to chocolate mixture. Beat egg whites until stiff in large bowl. Fold in chocolate mixture. Pour cake batter evenly into the three prepared pans. Bake 30 minutes or until cake springs back. Let cool on racks.

Frosting:

1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 egg yolks -- slightly beaten
3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 cups coconut
2 cups chopped pecans

Combine evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks and butter in a saucepan. Add vanilla. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until thickened (thick enough to coat back of spoon). Remove from heat. Stir in coconut and pecans. Cool until thick enough to spread over cake. Place 1 cake layer on plate. Spread frosting evenly over top. Repeat with remaining layers. Spread remaining frosting evenly over sides of cake. Serve.
