# Instructions:

Set your oven to 350°F. Spray the inside of a 10-inch Bundt pan. In one bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients. Stir the espresso into the warm water.
02 -
Into the espresso mixture, stir in the buttermilk, sour cream, melted butter, and vanilla. Break in the eggs and mix well.
03 -
Blend the wet and dry mixtures together until smooth. If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter. Pour the mix into the prepared pan.
04 -
Pop it into the oven and bake for 45–55 minutes. It’s ready when a toothpick comes out with just a crumb or two. Let it cool for 15 minutes in the pan before flipping it out.
05 -
Heat the milk, yolks, sugar, butter, and salt, stirring until it thickens. Toss in the pecans, coconut, and vanilla at the end and stir to combine.
06 -
Pour the warm cream over your chocolate chips, let it sit briefly, then stir till it’s smooth. Spread the coconut topping on the cake, and drizzle the glaze over everything.
