Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup (6 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
cake:
1 package german chocolate cake mix (regular size)
1 cup water
1 cup mayonnaise
3 eggs
filling:
1 cup sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup butter, cubed
3 egg yolks
1-1/3 cups flaked coconut, toasted
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp hot fudge ice cream topping, warmed

Directions:

Place chocolate chips in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over chips; whisk until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Refrigerate until completely chilled.
Grease and flour three 8-in. round baking pans; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, mayonnaise and eggs; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pans. Bake at 350° for 23-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
In a small heavy saucepan, heat the sugar, milk, butter and egg yolks over medium-low heat until mixture is thickened and golden brown, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Stir in the coconut, pecans and vanilla. Cool until thick enough to spread.
To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with a third of the filling. Repeat layers twice. Beat chilled cream mixture until soft peaks form. Spread over sides of cake. Drizzle fudge topping over cake. Refrigerate until serving. Yield: 12 servings.
