German Dark Chocolate Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350. Coat two 9-inch cake pans with cooking spray and lightly dust with flour. Set aside.

2. Whisk the chocolate, yogurt, olive oil, vinegar, vanilla and eggs together in a large bowl.

3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Add the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Divide evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30 minutes.

4. Cool cakes in their pans for 20 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack.

5. While the cakes are cooling, place the evaporated milk and cornstarch in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until foamy. Whisk in sugar, butter, vanilla and salt and cook until thickened. Let cool slightly, then stir in pecans and coconut.

6. Place one cake layer on a cake stand and frost the top. Top with the remaining cake layer and frost the top again. Slice and serve.
