For a richer chocolate flavor, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the cake batter. Toast the pecans and coconut lightly before adding them to the frosting for a deeper, more complex flavor. If the frosting is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or cream to thin it out. Be careful not to overbake the cake, as it can become dry. For a more intense coconut flavor, use coconut extract instead of vanilla extract in the frosting.
