Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large baking sheet.
In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth. Gradually stir in boiling water.
Pour batter onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
While the cake bakes, prepare the frosting by cooking evaporated milk, sugar, butter, egg yolks, and vanilla until thickened. Stir in coconut and pecans.
Once baked, cool the cake slightly before frosting it evenly. Roll it gently into a log shape and let it set for at least 30 minutes before serving.
