Instructions:
1. Chocolate Cake:

- In another bowl, combine sugar, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla. Mix well.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and combine until smooth.
- Pour the batter into a previously greased mold and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Coconut Filling:
- In a bowl, combine the grated coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla.
- Once the cake is cool, divide it into two layers (horizontally).

3. Chocolate Coating:
- In a saucepan, heat the cream until it begins to boil. Then remove it from the heat and add the chocolate and butter.
