Ingredients

  • 4 sticks butter
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup Caramel

Directions

    1. Step 1Preheat oven to 300°. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until light and creamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add in sugar, beating until fully combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla and milk, beating until combined.
    2. Step 2Turn the electric mixer to low speed, and gradually beat in flour. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then stir in cocoa powder and fold in chocolate chips.
    3. Step 3If Using Mini Loaf Pans: Pour batter into four greased mini loaf pans and bake for 23 to 25 minutes, then top batter with shredded coconut. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (just a few crumbs, no gooey batter), about 20 minutes more.
    4. Step 4If Using a Full-Size Loaf Pan: Pour mixture into a full-sized pan and bake for 40 minutes, then top batter with shredded coconut. Bake 33 to 35 minutes more. (Follow the same toothpick test to check doneness.)
    5. Step 5Let cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before removing cake from loaf pan. Drizzle caramel over top before slicing and serving.
